This paper presents and discusses the relevant principles, corollaries and rules of logic in land classification for irrigation suitability determinations. Also included are the generalized methodology and operating procedures. Most of the information used is from the material that has been developed and established by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, modified to fit the Philippine setting. To maintain continuity, the land classification work already undertaken is also included and documented. The functions and uses of the land classification information in conjunction with irrigation water management are explored and stressed. It is recommended that land classification, as well as the institution of improved water management, be undertaken not only for proposed irrigation, drainage and flood control projects prior to authorization, but also in existing irrigation systems prior to rehabilitation or improvement.

The Province of Alberta has a mandatory land irrigability classification system. Land must be classified as suitable for irrigation before water can be issued. The system has six land classes of which the first four are irrigable. The Canadian Soil Classification System is used for describing soils which, together with parent material, soil profile, textual classes, soil chemistry and landscape features determine the limitations and the irrigability class. The system has developed over a number of years and the latest revision dates from 1983.
