"
Examining the nature and scope of large-scale surface irrigation
in India, this book identifies the factors leading to poor
performance from a political economy perspective and suggests
viable options for institutional reforms.
Using empirical data on irrigation financing and farmer
participation, the authors go beyond merely making policy
recommendations. They make detailed calculations of the costs of
irrigation development, including both capital expenditure and
recurring costs. They also examine the performance of reform
measures that are already in operation in Karnataka and Rajasthan,
as well as evaluating the effectiveness of participatory irrigation
management reforms.
