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 paperback reprint
of a successful 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.
