There is
increasing pressure worldwide on available water resources. These pressures
arise from a number of factors, including growing populations, increased wealth
and urbanization, increased industrialization, and demands from society and
environmental groups for safeguards to protect water resources and the aquatic
environment. In many locations climate change is adding to these pressures. In
many countries irrigated agriculture consumes a large proportion of the
available water resources, often over 70% of the total. There is considerable
pressure to release water for other uses, and as a sector, irrigated
agriculture will have to increase its efficiency and productivity of water use.
A new era is dawning for water management in the irrigated agriculture
sector,where the management effort and returns to management are required,
recognized and rewarded. This book draws on the author’s experience and work
over 30 years and in some 28 countries in the management, operation and
maintenance of irrigation and drainage schemes. The book provides knowledge for
management of irrigation and drainage systems in the 21st century, covering the
traditional technical areas related to system operation and maintenance and expanding
managerial, institutional and organizational aspects related to the changing
political, social and economic environment. It lays emphasis on the management
of irrigation as a business enterprise, moving management thinking out of
traditional public sector mindsets to more customer-focused,
performance-oriented service delivery. A significant proportion of the
irrigation and drainage systems worldwide are manually operated gravity systems
managed by government agencies with large numbers of water users farming
relatively small landholdings. The total area worldwide in this category is
over 165 million ha, which is over 60% of the total area irrigated worldwide.
It is in such systems where improvements in management are most required, and
in which the most substantial benefits can be obtained. The book seeks to
provide practical guidelines to improve the three key processes of management,
operation and maintenance of such systems. In the management context it deals
with institutional issues, such as water law, and management structures and
management processes, including establishing and working with water users
associations, restructuring irrigation and drainage agencies, fee setting and
cost recovery. In the operation context the book provides practical guidance on
key operation processes, including irrigation scheduling at main system and
on-farm level, and performance management tools. In the maintenance context it
covers maintenance management processes, including maintenance identification,
planning, budgeting, implementation, supervision and recording. Asset
management is increasingly used as a tool for maintenance management, and is
covered in some detail.-Preface by the author
