Rural sociologists involved in an-action oriented interdisciplinary project perform a variety of roles. This paper examines how the rural sociologists working in an on-farm water management project in Egypt execute their tasks by fulfilling the roles of analyst, advisor, and innovator. Such roles are performed in two distinct contexts existing at the same time: in an interdisciplinary context and in a cross-cultural context. The rural sociologists of the project have to coordinate their efforts with agronomists, economists, and engineers who are all focussing on specific problems which are to be implemented. In addition, the sociologists must also direct their efforts to both Americans and Egyptians who are working together. How these different roles are performed and what they mean to the project, as well as to the sociologists, is analyzed in terms of how rural sociologists function as team members.

The paper is based on experience gained by the author while evaluating the socio-economic impact of the International Development Agency (IDA) Shallow Tubewells (STW) Project in northwest Bangladesh. The objectives of the evaluation were to: (1) assess direct and indirect financial benefits; (2) examine the effectiveness of the improved repair and maintenance facilities provided under the project; and (3) identify socio-economic characteristics of the beneficiaries. However, during the course of the evaluation other objectives were added: (4) establish total STW installation and evolution of sales under IDA credit; (5) assess institutional and organizational development; (6) determine technical aspects of STW problems and remedial measures; and (7) examine policy implications arising out of the study. The methodology employed for the study included three phases: (1) a statistical survey by district to establish total STW installation, evolution of sales, cropped area, production, and production systems; (2) an interview questionnaire covering about 200 wells involving 4,000-6,000 farmers to establish a sample frame for detailed questioning; and (3) an in-depth questioning of about 500 farmers under 40 to 50 wells plus a number of farmers outside STW schemes.Simple statistical tools were used in the data analysis and financial and economic analyses were employed to calculate net incremental benefits for the individual crops as well as for the entire crop sector. The final section of the paper discusses the results of the evaluation and the implications for future decision making.

This dissertation is a case study of the environmental and socio- economic impact of a rural development project. It examines the effects of the Bakolori Dam on the valley of the river Sokoto in Nigeria on downstream floodplain villages. The background to development in the valley and the evolution of the development strategy eventually adopted in the river basin, based on large-scale irrigation schemes and headwater dams for water control, are considered.
