In principle, participatory irrigation management (PIM) means the involvement of irrigation users in all aspects at all levels
of irrigation management. In practice, all over the world efforts are being made to realize the principles. However, in the
execution of PIM, role sharing between farmers and government is a serious problem, and thus a clear method and ideas are
needed to improve PIM. In particular, a broad discussion of role sharing is demanded. This article illustrates how the Japanese
way of role sharing in PIM is realized based on the case of the Toyogawa Irrigation Project. Organizationally, the project
is jointly managed by five entities, including both the public sector and the farmers’ organizations. These entities have
clearly divided their functional roles, with the ultimate decision power in all aspects of irrigation management given to
organized farmers. The power is realized either directly or through the land improvement districts’ representative system
depending on the levels of the irrigation system. The public entity provides coordination support to create a transparent
forum of discussion together with scientific information for farmers’ understanding and decision making. The participatory
institutional line-up of this project enables the upland areas that suffered periodically from water deficits. 相似文献

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important staple food crop in the southern region of Asia, and Indian subcontinent being one of the major producers. Production of conventional transplanted rice requires a large amount of irrigation water, labor, and energy. The scarcity of irrigation water has encouraged farmers to adopt an alternative rice production system, i.e. the direct-seeded rice (DSR), which is proposed to be farmers’ friendly with a potential to save water. Our study reports the performance of DSR with respect to yield and water expense efficiency based on different irrigation regimes and dates of sowing. A field experiment was conducted in the semi-arid region of northern India during the rainy season of 2011 with two treatment combinations (dates of sowing: 15th May and 5th June and three irrigation regimes: irrigation scheduled at irrigation water-to-cumulative potential evapotranspiration; IW/CPE ratio of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) in a completely randomized design. We found statistically higher water expense efficiency of DSR sown on 5th June as compared to DSR sown on 15th May without any significant differences in growth and yield. A significant yield difference between DSR grown with irrigation regimes of IW/CPE 1.0 and 1.5 and DSR grown with irrigation regimes of IW/CPE ratio 2.0 were observed. The DSR grown with irrigation regimes of IW/CPE ratio of 1.5 resulted in significantly higher water expense efficiency than the one with IW/CPE ratio of 2.0. Obtaining a higher yield of DSR under scarce irrigation water might be a trade-off between optimum water use and maximum yield avoiding excess ground water exploitation in sub-tropical semi-arid regions of India. Our study suggests that sowing time and irrigation regimes are two important aspects of “rice production” to attain “win–win” solution. Thus, strategic and judicial use of irrigation water with management of sowing time could potentially escalate the rice production in water scarce regions of India. 相似文献

China, the biggest rice-producing country in the world, has put considerable effort into finding ways to conserve water in rice cultivation. One very promising practice, intermittent submerged irrigation (ISI) was reported to be applied on farmers fields over a large area in the Zhanghe irrigation system (ZIS), which serves about 160,000 ha of irrigated land, which is intensively cultivated with rice. To better understand the actual farmer practices, the degree to which farmers adopt ISI, the resulting water productivity, and implications for farm and system water management, a water accounting methodology developed by IWMI was applied at farm and a larger meso scale. Two areas were observed: Tuanlin, where ISI was reported to be widespread (with ISI), and Wenjiaxiang, where farmers were reportedly not adopting ISI (without ISI). The field water level measurements demonstrate that farmers at the with ISI site follow a practice similar to the theoretical ISI techniques by letting ponding levels drop to the soil surface several times during the cropping season. At the without site, farmers keep higher water levels ponded, and do not let water levels drop to the soil surface as often as the with site. A major determinant of practice is ease of access to water. At the with site, farmers have access to a variety of sources such as ponds and drains. At the without site, access to water was primarily from canal water, without the degree of flexibility as areas that had a water source near the field. The process fraction of gross inflow at field scale (rice evapotranspiration divided by irrigation plus rain) ranged between 0.66 and 0.93, remarkably high values showing how effective farmers are in converting water sources to productive evapotranspiration. The on-farm water accounting results show that with ISI, the average values of irrigation water applied over two years 1999–2000 are 22% less than without ISI, and the yields approximately the same. The resulting water productivity values per unit of irrigation water (WPirrigation) are 20% higher under ISI practices, but per unit of evapotranspiration water productivity results are similar. The meso site study yielded surprising insights into overall water management in the area. In the years 1999 and 2000, at the meso sites, the irrigation duty in Tuanlin (with ISI) was 29% and 21% less than in Wenjiaxiang (without ISI), respectively, resulting in WPirrigation values of 24% and 26% higher at Tuanlin than Wenjiaxiang. But values of process fraction of gross inflow were considerably reduced at the meso scale ranging between 0.12 and 0.29, with considerable drainage outflow observed. Different land uses, trees, roads, villages, and ponds, begin to play an important role in overall water resource management at this scale. Drainage water from fields plus runoff served as supplies to ponds within the meso area as well as downstream reservoirs. Ponds play a very important role as an additional source of water, and in fact facilitate the uptake of ISI practices. This demonstrates that there are multiple strategies at play influencing water savings and productivity beyond ISI in the management of water within the area. 相似文献

A good water users’ organization (WUO) is a significant factor in the practical success of an irrigation project. The major
duties of WUOs are to operate and maintain their irrigation facilities and to perform the financial and organizational management.
This paper analyzes the history and present situation of three WUOs in the Chao Phraya Delta, Thailand which have been awarded
for their successful activities: namely, two pilot integrated water user groups (IWUGs) and one pilot water users’ association.
The results of a field survey and questionnaire revealed the users’ past experience, methods of irrigation management, and
social mobilization efforts. The main results of our analysis are as follows: (1) among the three WUOs, only the IWUG Sao
Hi Unity Agriculture Irrigation (IWUG SHUAI) can be regarded as a successful case in terms of long-term management, (2) as
a pumping irrigation project, the IWUG SHUAI entails an upfront electricity cost, which gives farmers added impetus to organize
a management system and budget, and to learn from past failures, and (3) in contrast, the member farmers in the gravity irrigation
projects lack the impetus to realize the necessity of a common management budget, a situation which can be improved only by
the education of the leaders and clear explanation to the member farmers. 相似文献

Effects of farmer field school (FFS) and the conventional (classroom lectures) training on acquisition of pest management knowledge and skills by small vegetable farmers were studied in Yunnan province, China from 2003 to 2007. There were significant gains of knowledge about vegetable pests, natural enemies, insect and disease ecology and pest management among the FFS farmers, but were no significant improvements of knowledge among the conventional trained farmers. Vegetable FFS enabled farmers to learn simple knowledge as well as complex IPM knowledge. In contrast, the conventional training only improved vegetable farmers' simple knowledge. The potential and limitations of FFS as a unique extension tool to disseminate the complex knowledge of IPM to smallholder farmers were demonstrated. 相似文献

An Integrated Water User Group (IWUG) plays an important role assisting an irrigation project to control water distribution, expand the cropping area, operate and maintain irrigation facilities, and disseminate crucial information about the water situation to all farmers based on water supply from an irrigation agency. In this article, we present our analysis of the management of a newly established IWUG, based on a field survey in Thailand. We attempt to clarify the characteristics of irrigation management in the IWUG, while focusing on four functional processes: decision, operation, monitoring, and feedback. Thus, we analyze the water management structure and provide suggestions for better management of the IWUG. The main results of our analysis are as follows: (1) the current state of the IWUG 18R canal is not fully successful. There are second generation problems that need to be solved; (2) The upstream farmers dominate the use of the IWUG 18R canal because the establishment process of downstream WUGs was loosely performed because of a limited budget for on-farm irrigation development; (3) Water distribution structure and membership charging are not simple and uniform along the lateral irrigation canal because of the water availability of return flow from the downstream area. Such structure should be recognized and discussed to improve the future water distribution in relation to membership fees. 相似文献

The impact of on-farm water saving irrigation techniques on rice productivity and profitability in Zhanghe Irrigation System,Hubei, China 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
To optimize the use of limited water resources, surface irrigation systems in parts of China have introduced a new water saving irrigation method for rice termed alternate wetting and drying (AWD). The basic feature of this method is to irrigate so that the soil alternates between periods of standing water and damp or dry soil conditions from 30 days after crop establishment up to harvesting. However, many Chinese rice farmers still practice the continuous irrigation method with late- season drying of the soil.A comparative assessment of these two methods of on-farm water management for rice was conducted at two sites within the Zhanghe Irrigation System (ZIS) in Hubei province of China for the 1999 and 2000 rice crops. The objective was to evaluate the impact of AWD on crop management practices and the profitability of rice production. In conjunction with irrigation district officials, two sites within ZIS were selected for study, one where AWD was supposed to be widely practiced (Tuanlin, TL) and one where it had not been introduced (Lengshui, LS). It was found that farmers at both sites do not practice a pure form of either AWD or continuous flooding. However, farmers in TL did tend to let the soil dry more frequently than their counterparts in LS.Because most farmers practice neither pure AWD nor pure continuous flooding, an AWD score was developed that measures the frequency with which farmers allow their soil to dry. This AWD score was not significantly correlated with yield after controlling for site and year effects and input use. AWD scores were also not correlated with input use. We conclude that AWD saves water at the farm level without adversely affecting yields or farm profitability. 相似文献

Japanese farmers manage their irrigation water based on their past experiences and preferences, considering such factors as weather and available water (hereafter defined as empirical water management). They elaborately control the intake and drainage rates of their own paddy fields to maintain optimal ponding depths. But these well-managed systems will drastically change because of the decreasing number of farmers. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify if the optimal ponding depth will be maintained within the limits of traditionally-allowed water intake rate from the main river. The first objective of this study was the quantification of actual water use in the paddy fields, resulting from the farmers water management on the basis of their experience. The significance of the present water intake rate under empirical water management was studied for a paddy field command area of about 230 ha. Water intake rates and the water requirements of the whole area were investigated by measuring the flow rate at 17 points of irrigation and drainage canals. Characteristics of the farmers empirical water management were investigated by measuring the hourly changes in inflow and outflow rates for a sub-area using an automatic measurement system, and an inferential method of determining water management patterns for the paddy fields was proposed. The newly-proposed inferential method was introduced in the tank model, which expresses the characteristics of water management in the command area. The Shuffled Complex Evolution Algorithm (SCE-UA) method was used for optimizing the model parameters. It was proven that the model accuracy improved when the farmers empirical water management was taken into account. The optimal amount of water to be applied to the command area was quantified by the simulation. The second objective was to predict the effect of the decreasing number of farmers on future water use conditions. The simulated result indicates the difficulty of maintaining optimal ponding depth for the whole command area when the farmers empirical water management is not maintained. In other words, results indicated that efficient water use requires an automatic water management system or a new pipeline system to replace the farmers present empirical water management. 相似文献

This paper analyzes successful factors and develops theory/concept for the activation of the Water Users’ Organizations (WUOs)
in the Modernization of Water Management System (MWMS) project in Thailand. The main successful factors are as follows: (1)
improvement of irrigation facilities with the farmers’ participation; (2) providing an opportunity for discussions with farmers
to enable the adjustment of water allocation through the establishment of an Integrated Water Users’ Group (IWUG) in the early
stages of the project; (3) holding monthly meetings of the IWUG; (4) developing, operating, and monitoring the water allocation
plan in cooperation with both farmers and government officials. That is to say, initiation of the facilities’ improvement
and the establishment of the WUOs were performed concurrently. Moreover, the farmers participated from the beginning of the
planning stage to the management stage. The MWMS project contributed to create a system that farmers can acquire and use irrigation
water with reliability. Through this system, farmers could have ownership in their facilities, and then they participated
in the operation and maintenance spontaneously. The most important thing is to give priority to a joint study process between
the farmers and government officials for producing mutual understanding and building a good confidential relationship. 相似文献

Decision support system for reservoir operation considering rotational supply over irrigation blocks
This study aims not only to evaluate agricultural drought in paddy using the storage ratio of the corresponding reservoir, but also to develop a rotational irrigation scheduling system (RISS) for supporting both water supply scheduling and on–off control works for automated irrigation. From the present storage ratio of reservoir and an operation rule curve (ORC) as a guideline for releasing irrigation water, reservoir operators could determine the appropriate time to restrict the irrigation water supply, and calculate the deficient amount of irrigation water. The RISS based on the ORC and weekly rainfall forecasting information has been developed for decision support to minimize drought damage in irrigation districts during the irrigation period. The system was also applied to a test irrigation district with the Yedang irrigation reservoir, which is located in the mid-west of Korea. The RISS could be utilized as a water management program for irrigation reservoirs by interfacing with telemetering and telecontrol (TM/TC) technology. 相似文献

Egypt faces great challenges due to its limited water resources by enforcement policies to improve the performance of the existing delivery system and its development. The improvement of irrigation systems in the Nile Delta is one of the most important attempts in Egypt to implement more effective irrigation technologies. This study was carried out to evaluate improved tertiary canal level and farmers’ practices by comparing with other unimproved systems to understand the farmers’ practices in their farms after modifying the existing irrigation system. This study area applied to the Wasat command area’s most commonly used to the cultivation of a paddy field in Egypt, which contributes 40 % of production. The overall results indicate that the water-use application at the improved system level improved. This was due to the role of water user association in the successful management and operation of the water-supply system on the private level of water distribution network. So, water users’ association has the positive effect on managing of the improved tertiary canal. Although, there are main problems of water delivery in the irrigation networks that was a water shortage in the main canal owing to its location at the tail of the feeder canal system in the Nile Delta, and other reasons include the absence of crop production planning by farmers, especially rice farmers in summer, and the greater demand of some fields than supply. 相似文献

Monterrey metropolitan area’s growth has resulted in water transfers from the Río San Juan basin with significant impacts
for downstream water users, especially farmers in the Bajo Río San Juan (BRSJ) irrigation district. El Cuchillo dam is the
centerpiece of the basin’s water management infrastructure and has become the flashpoint of a multi-faceted water dispute
between the states of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas as well as between urban and agricultural water interests in the basin. Subsequent
to El Cuchillo’s implementation in 1994, the BRSJ irrigation district has been modifying its irrigation operations to adjust
to the new water availability scenario. Compensation arrangements for farmers have been established, including crop loss payments
on the order of US$ 100 per hectare un-irrigable due to the diversion of water to Monterrey plus 60% of the water diverted
to be returned to farmers as treated effluent via the Ayancual Creek and Pesquería River, a process with its own water competition
and environmental implications. The Mexican irrigation sector will continue to face intense competition for water given: (a)
low water productivity in agriculture leading decision-makers to allocate water to higher productivity uses particularly in
cities, (b) priority accorded to the domestic use component of municipal water supply, and in the BRSJ case, (c) Mexico’s
national interests in meeting its water sharing obligations with the United States. 相似文献

AbstractThis study aimed to clarify the effects of water storage-type deep irrigation (WSDI) on the yields of various rice cultivars used in the Tohoku district of Japan. We compared a WSDI plot (DP) with a standard irrigation plot (SP) with regard to the growth, yield, and yield components of the rice cultivars grown in these plots during 4 years (2002–2005) in Sendai, Japan. In 2003, which had a cool summer, the yields in DP were considerably higher than those in SP, thus confirming that WSDI mitigated the cool summer-induced damage to rice. The yields in DP were not lower than those in SP during the other 3 years (normal climatic years), indicating that various cultivars could adapt to WSDI. Although high-yielding rice plants cultivated by well-experienced farmers under deep-water irrigation regimes have large panicles, the spikelet number per panicle and the yield in DP were not higher than those in SP. Based on the results of the comparison between the cultivation system of WSDI and that of high-yielding deep-water irrigation regimes practiced by such farmers, we speculated that to achieve a higher yield under WSDI, other cultivation techniques need to be incorporated into WSDI. 相似文献

Strategies and engineering adaptions to disseminate SRI methods in large-scale irrigation systems in Eastern Indonesia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The system of rice intensification (SRI) developed in Madagascar has been controversial in part because there have been no
large-scale, long-term evaluations of the impact of its alternative methods. This paper summarizes experience with the dissemination
of SRI practices across eight provinces in Eastern Indonesia over nine seasons from 2002 to 2006 under a major irrigation
project. The Decentralized Irrigation System Improvement Project (DISIMP) was financed by the Japanese Government with project
management by a Nippon Koei consultant team. SRI has been introduced in Indonesia via several organizations and in different
parts of the country starting in 2000. The evaluation reported here, made by the DISIMP technical assistance team, is based
on data from 12,133 on-farm comparison trials that covered a total area of 9,429 ha. Under SRI management, average paddy yield
increase was 3.3 t/ha (78%). This was achieved with about 40% reduction in water use, 50% reduction in chemical fertilizer
applications, and 20% lower costs of production. The farmers whom DISIMP was assisting to take up SRI were usually cultivating
their paddy fields individually within irrigation systems where it was difficult to reduce water applications as recommended
for SRI. Accordingly, innovations had to be made in soil and water management to create relatively aerobic soil conditions
so that farmers could get the more productive rice phenotypes expected from SRI practice. This article describes the modifications
made to adapt SRI concepts, pointing to the value of introducing in-field ditches, which was confirmed through paddy tract
surveys. This experience and analysis showed how SRI methods could be utilized within irrigation systems where water management
was not (yet) tailored to SRI production practices. Subsequently, modifications in irrigation system management are being
made to be more supportive of SRI cultivation. 相似文献

The case study is aimed at assessing impacts of on-farm level irrigation development and management on dry season rice production in the main irrigated rice production area of Myanmar. The study was carried out from 2003 to 2009 in the middle reaches of the Ngameoeyeik irrigation area of 28,000 ha. In addition to collecting information on water management and institutional arrangement of the study area, hydrologic and agronomic parameters were monitored during the study period. Results showed the effectiveness of on-farm level infrastructural development for increasing rice productivity owing to increased amount of water delivery, increased flexibility of water distribution, and improved drainage conditions. Besides, encouraging the involvement of farmers in design and implementation of the development led to improved farmer participation in the operation and maintenance of the irrigation system. The outcomes of this study demonstrated the importance of balancing between infrastructural and institutional development in irrigation systems of Southeast Asia. Such infrastructural development should be in close association with institutional development and capacity building, and the interactions between those two aspects should be well understood. 相似文献

In Northeast Thailand, which overlaps with an erosional plain that is not suitable for irrigation because of poor water resources and terrains that prevent efficient water distribution, farmers have long supplied water to surrounding paddy fields by blocking rivers completely with earthen bunds. Although such a traditional irrigation system fits well with the characteristics of Northeast Thailand, those who are concerned with modern irrigation development projects in Northeast Thailand seem to have been paying little attention to it. The present study was performed to facilitate development of more appropriate irrigation systems in Northeast Thailand by providing information regarding traditional irrigation methods. We investigated the traditional irrigation methods with earthen bunds at three study sites, and our results indicated that styles of irrigation vary with riverbed slope. The traditional irrigation system that is used in most of Northeast Thailand is different from ordinal weir irrigation, in that paddy fields are not irrigated by gravity flow but by backwater of earthen bunds. Our results suggest that the development of more successful irrigation systems would be possible through improvement of the design ideas of traditional irrigation methods.
