Essential Dimensions and Elements in the Design of Irrigation System Management Transfer Projects
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns
Abstract
Irrigation projects have been done in developing countries for many years and for many purposes. In the last thirty years, much emphasis has been placed in these projects upon transferring management of irrigation systems to the water users. The transfer process is often not an easy one, and over time it has become apparent that various elements, working in layered dimensions, need to be present in order to achieve sustainable results and the induction of development in rural societies. These elements and dimensions need to be identified and focused upon at the inception of design of a project; the absence of one or more of these as the project develops can cripple or derail the desired outcome.
