About the Book and Editors

This interdisciplinary volume brings together current issues in and approaches to the development, utilization, and management of water resources in developing countries. The contributors, who have had extensive research and work experience in such countries, analyze these irrigation issues in the context of past experience and offer possible future strategies to help bridge the gap between potential and reality in Third World agriculture. The book will be of interest to agricultural economists, hydro-engineers, agronomists, sociologists, and extension practitioners concerned with agricultural and irrigation development.

K. C. Nobe is chairman and professor in the Department of Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics at Colorado State University. Prior to assuming his present position, he was chief of the Agricultural and Economics Branch of Harza Engineering Company International and general consultant to the Water and Power Development Authority of West Pakistan.

R. K. Sampath is professor in the Department of Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics and managing director of the International School for Agricultural and Resource Development at Colorado State University. Drs. Nobe and Sampath are coeditors of Issues in Third World Development (Westview, 1983).

Published in cooperation with the International School for Agricultural and Resource Development

The International School for Agricultural and Resource Development (ISARD) program at Colorado State University engages in educational, research, and technical assistance activities relating to agricultural and natural resource development in Third World nations.

ISARD was established in 1980 as a component of CSU's program for International Education, Research, and Technical Activities in response to the International Development and Food Assistance Congressional Act of 1975, which encouraged U.S. land grant institutions to become more involved in famine prevention and food production in Third World countries.

Initial financial support for ISARD's activities came from the U.S. Agency for International Development. ISARD is now totally self-supporting.

Improving the management of existing irrigation projects is the subject of this volume, the eighth in the Westview series "Studies in Water Policy and Management." The volume focuses on a critical problem: Investments in Third World irrigation projects of all sizes in the post-war period have not been as productive as expected. As the costs of new projects escalate and as the debts from past projects drain resources from national treasuries, aid recipients and donors have come to realize the importance of obtaining greater payoffs from existing infrastructure.

The results of extensive, widely varied field research by irrigation specialists from the major disciplinary fields are presented in this volume and can be used in the training of irrigation planners, managers, and extension personnel. The chapters emphasize the need for total management of agricultural inputs, the need for appropriate incentives, the utility of farmer involvement, the possibility of changing institutions, and so on. The chapters are not highly technical and they constitute excellent training materials for short courses, as well as supplemental reading in standard courses.

Charles W. Howe
General Editor

Charles W. Howe is professor of natural resource economics at the University of Colorado and a specialist in water resources.

We would like to thank the U.S. Agency for International Development, New Delhi Mission, for financial support in conducting this seminar series as part of the India Irrigation Management Training Program at Colorado State University.
