In search of a water revolution: questions for managing canal irrigation in the 1980s
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the main system operation of
large and medium-size canal irrigation in South and Southeast
Asia. The argument and the conclusions are designed to complement
and support the many initiatives — including improved
design and construction, physical improvements to delivery
systems, field layout and leveling, agronomic and hydrological
research, and community-level organization — that are being
undertaken or contemplated to improve large and medium-size
irrigation systems.
