The results of investment in irrigation projects in developing
countries have often been disappointing both to investors and to
local beneficiaries. The editors argue that the ultimate goals of
irrigation projects must be set within the larger context of
general social issues. Economic efficiency must often be weighed
against social gains; irrigation projects cannot be conceived
simply as technical problems, and structures must be designed with
reference to their continuing maintenance and operation. Using a
management model, the contributors offer new perspectives on the
evaluation of investment priorities and the potential benefits of
irrigation projects in developing countries. Recommendations on
evaluating investments in small-scale irrigation projects,
improvements in water allocation, project rehabilitation and
maintenance, water pricing, government food policy, technical
assistance, and project sustainability are empirically grounded in
studies from India, Thailand, Pakistan, and Egypt. The analysis of
specific small-scale projects suggests that there are many
opportunities for improving farmer participation and thus
increasing the chances of success for these projects.
