"Water is a vital element for agricultural production and for
economic development in general. However, the spatial and temporal
distribution of water in Mexico restrains its use. Because of this
distribution, it has been necessary to build a large infrastructure
to capture, store, and allot this element among water users."
Around the world, countries that once promoted more government
involvement in irrigation management are adopting new policies that
do just the opposite, creating incentives for farmers to take over
the management of operations and maintenance, while government
agencies focus on improving the management of water at the main
system level. Is this just another management fad; or will the
pendulum that is now swinging toward greater management control by
farmers soon swing back the other way, toward greater state
control? This volume reports on four countries where the state's
role in irrigation management has undergone fundamental change and
where the result has been a much greater management role for
farmers. These studies address the political antecedents of
participatory irrigation management (PIM) policies, the process of
implementing the policies, and the second-generation challenges of
sustaining PIM. These experiences will prove useful to policymakers
and irrigation professionals who are facing similar challenges in
their own countries.
