Water is a vital element for agricultural production and for economic development in general. However, the spatial and temporal distribution of water in Mexico restrains its use. Because of this distribution, it has been necessary to build a large infrastructure to capture, store, and allot this element among water users. Around the world, countries that once promoted more government involvement in irrigation management are adopting new policies that do just the opposite, creating incentives for farmers to take over the management of operations and maintenance, while government agencies focus on improving the management of water at the main system level. Is this just another management fad; or will the pendulum that is now swinging toward greater management control by farmers soon swing back the other way, toward greater state control? This volume reports on four countries where the states role in irrigation management has undergone fundamental change and where the result has been a much greater management role for farmers. These studies address the political antecedents of participatory irrigation management (PIM) policies, the process of implementing the policies, and the second-generation challenges of sustaining PIM. These experiences will prove useful to policymakers and irrigation professionals who are facing similar challenges in their own countries.

The World Bank Institute (incorporating the former Economic Development Institute (EDI)/Leaming and Leadership Center) was established by the World Bank in 1955 to train officials concerned with development planning, policymaking, investment analysis, and project implementation in member developing countries. At present the substance of the WBI's work emphasizes macroeconomic and sectoral economic policy analysis. Through a variety of courses, seminars, and workshops, most of which are given overseas in cooperation with local institutions, the WBI seeks to sharpen analytical skills used in policy analysis and to broaden understanding of the experience of individual countries with economic development. Although the WBI's publications are designed to support its training activities, many are of interest to a much broader audience.

Foreword
Following the publication in 1993 of the World Bank's policy paper on Water Resources Management, the World Bank Institute (WBI), formerly the Economic Development Institute/Learning and Leadership Center, initiated a training program on water policy reform, based on the principles outlined in the policy paper. A series of national, regional, and international seminars was organized to disseminate best practices in water resources management and to stimulate high-level policy dialogue on policy options in the water sector.
