Impacts of Colombia's Current Irrigation Management Transfer Program
Author: Douglas L. Vermillion
Publisher: IWMI
ISBN: 9290903643
Category : Irrigation
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
There is a significant gap of knowledge about actual results of irrigation management transfer. This includes the questions: Which strategies work? Which don't? and What prerequisites are necesssary to support sustainable local management of irrigation? This report examines the context of transfer, the basic transfer strategy, powers and functions devolved, and the impacts of transfer on irrigation management and irrigated agriculture in three sample irrigation districts of Colombia-the RUT, Rio Recio, and Samaca. data on performance of these schemes were analyzed for 4 or 5 years before and after transfer. Two additional schemes, San Rafael and Maria La Baja, which were transferred just prior to this study, provided a comparison of performance between transferred and nontransferred schemes, form the period of analysis.

Farmer-based Financing of Operations in the Niger Valley Irrigation Schemes
Author: Charles L. Abernethy
Publisher: IWMI
ISBN: 929090397X
Category : Associations, institutions, etc
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
This report deals with some experiences of a set of irrigation systems situated in the Republic of Niger, along both banks of the Niger River. All these systems draw water from the river through low-lift, electrically powered pumping stations, which have been installed by the Government of Niger over the past 30 years. Irrigation of this kind is not a tradition in Niger. The introduction of this technology caused considerable changes in the way of life of local communities.
