The paper explores the relationship between investment in irrigation and the creation of community property in irrigation systems. The ownership of the hydraulic property and responsibility for sustaining it are held in common in many successful small-scale irrigation systems. Investments to create irrigation facilities always create or rearrange property relationships. Therefor, irrigation investment ought to proceed in a manner which creates property for the group that will operate and maintain the irrigation facilities. This gives the incentives to the appropriate group to sustain the property.
