Freshwater is a finite and precious resource that is essential for
sustaining life, as are the natural systems that provide and
maintain its supply. Irrigation has been a vital input for food
security and sustainable livelihoods, especially in developing
countries during the Green Revolution, since it has increased
income and improved health and nutrition, locally, and by bridging
the gap between production and demand, nationally. As demand
increases, this vital, irreplaceable resource is becoming
increasingly scarce. A potential crisis is looming where available
resources can no longer meet the growing needs. Over exploitation
of groundwater by increased number of bore wells, culminates in
seawater intrusion into the groundwater aquifers. To overcome such
problems, the Governments of many countries worldwide have already
recognized the need for transferring management responsibilities to
water users. The major reasons for Participatory Irrigation
Management Transfer are: improving irrigation system performance
and productivity and programs of respective governments; enhancing
the sustainability and reducing environmental impacts.
