The book presents documentary evidence of the insufficiency of
rehabilitation works to close the gap between the irrigation
service and actual area irrigated of publicly funded national
irrigation systems in the Philippines. It outlines a methodology
for formulating a modernisation plan for national irrigation
systems with focus on the mostly ungauged, medium to small canal
irrigation systems. The proposed methodology adaptively modified
some known modernisation concepts and techniques and integrated
them in a more holistic framework in the context of changing
weather patterns and river flow regimes. It includes in-depth
review of rehabilitation works; system diagnosis; revalidation of
design assumptions on percolation and water supply;
characterisation of system management, irrigation service and
demand; and drawing up of options and a vision for the modernised
irrigation systems. Central to the proposed modernisation strategy
is the logical coherence among the design of physical structures,
system operation and water supply so that improvements of
irrigation service are possible. The book discusses the development
of the proposed methodology and demonstrates its utility in two
case study irrigation systems.
