The present system of pricing of irrigation water in the gravity irrigation systems of the Philippines results in inefficient allocation and use of water. Furthermore, the low price of water results in the capitalization of irrigation benefits into land values. Hence, landowners are the major beneficiaries. Gradually increasing the price of water so that it is more in line with its opportunity cost under optimum management would improve the economic efficiency of water use and encourage the collection of government revenues for further public investment. As soon as practicable, water should be metered directly to farmers' paddy fields and the water charged based upon the amount actually diverted.

Farmer attitudes in five systems of the National Irrigation Administration were explored. The majority of farmers felt that they had adequate water, but that their water distribution could be improved. Farmers in water-short areas acknowledged the limited supply of water in their irrigation systems. These two groups exhibited contrasting attitudes, with the former tending to be relatively less cooperative and placing less value on irrigation. In terms of water distribution, farms served by the first half of the irrigation canal generally seemed better located than those served by the second half.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.4 G662 PAS Record No: H0321)
A study of irrigation performance in selected irrigation systems of Cirebon, West Java. Describes the institutional and organizational realities of irrigation systems. Presents an evaluation of crop performance and response function of paddy to irrigation via two basic concepts, namely Relative Water Supply and Water Shortage Index. Lastly, it deals with the equity in water allocation and the economic value of water.

Examines the nature of water allocation in two new farmer-managed irrigation systems in the Dumoga Valley of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The purpose of the research was three-fold: 1) to identify the social and physical aspects of these systems which influence how water is allocated among farmers' fields; 2) to analyze the interplay between rules and processes of farmer interaction; and 3) to examine the equity and efficiency of water use by farmers.

(Location: IWMI-India Call no: 631.7.6 G730 JOH Record No: H0811)
Using a computer model, alternative irrigation management systems are simulated for the Punjab, the largest state in Pakistan. Economic results indicate that canal closure in February to April, rather than December and January, would increase per hectare returns by US $15-35. Due to the limited capacity of the present canals, changing from a continuous flow to a demand system does not appear to be economically feasible. However, if present allocation can be supplemented by private wells operated on demand, higher economic returns and more flexibility would be possible.
