In many countries irrigated agriculture consumes a large proportion
of the available water resources, often over 70% of the total.
There is considerable pressure to release water for other uses, and
as a sector irrigated agriculture will have to increase its
efficiency and productivity of water use. Drawing on the author's
30 years of experience in some 28 countries, this book offers
knowledge for the management of irrigation and drainage systems,
including traditional technical areas of systems operation and
maintenance, and expanding managerial, institutional and
organizational aspects. Chapters provide guidelines to improve
management, operation and maintenance processes, which move
management thinking out of traditional public-sector mindsets to a
more customer-focussed, performance-oriented service delivery. As a
practical guide to improve efficiency and productivity in irrigated
agriculture, this book is essential reading for irrigation managers
and technicians as well as students and policymakers in water
management, agriculture and sustainable development.
