Barrio Pinagbayanan, Pila, Laguna is the site of a new farmers's association. Organized around the need for two irrigation pumps, 19 rice farmers have joined together to make the purchase and improve their incomes. The role of the change agent is described in this paper, along with many of the details crucial to the effective functioning of the association. The associations' financial resources, its organizational structure, and its broader purposes are discussed.

The history of a pump irrigation project in Gatanduanes, Philippines, is traced. Three pumps were introduced to the area in 1969, and a farmers' association established. The problems of this association and its relationship with the man responsible for installation and operation of the pumps, are analyzed. In 1972, an additional project was initiated which attempted to strengthen the association. Its progress in dealing with problems of land reform, water distribution, and credit are stressed.

A survey of 52 small-scale pumping units in Quezon and Batangas provinces in 1971-72 reveals that pump irrigated rice farms had positive net returns, with the wet season returns slightly greater than those of the dry season. But pump systems in the study areas performed poorly. They had low pump discharge rates and served limited areas. Four inch pumps had a greater average pump discharge than 5-inch pumps operating even at lower revolutions per minute. No substantial differences were found in yields of farms irrigated from different water table depths, or of different soil types. There were significant differences in pump discharge among soil types although they were not significant with respect to depth of water table. It was also found that area served was more dependent on available irrigable land than on soil type or water table depth. The study revealed that water is often conveyed through poorly maintained earth canals which we believe considerably reduced the efficiency of water use. The most common method of irrigation fee payment is 20 percent of net product shared by the tenant and landlord in both the wet and dry seasons. The major problem of pump owners is the lack of cash for pump repairs.

This paper describes the managerial problems which resulted when USAID decided to support the Malian Government's action in introducing diesel pumpsets for irrigated wheat-growing in a remote area of Northern Mali. To economize on costs, Indian pumps were ordered for 250 farmers who were already growing wheat by "calabash" irrigation. In a first phase of activity, the Mali Government managed the programme and evinced great problems in supplying inputs and in recovering credit. Financial irregularities brought about a freeze on donor funding, and led to a second phase under USAID's direct management. However, some of the same problems reappeared, and once again, the Project was unable to insure timely planting, adequate fuel, and effective mechanical services. Key factors which contributed to the low apparent efficiency of irrigated wheat production were: Farmer's lack of understanding of the importance of maintenance, the lack of an in-country parts' supplier once the pump model was phased out by the manufacturer, and the difficulty of arranging logistic and service support to villages in isolated settings. The lesson which this case teaches is that inadequate support services and fuel may be just as significant constraints upon smallholder irrigation as are shortages of water. In trying to minimize farmer's natural risks, the Action Ble-Dire project made farmers more subject to institutional risks. These in turn negated many of the project's intended benefits.
