Book Synopsis Impacts of Colombia's Current Irrigation Management Transfer Program by : Douglas L. Vermillion
Download or read book Impacts of Colombia's Current Irrigation Management Transfer Program written by Douglas L. Vermillion and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1998 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Water Scarcity Variations Within a Country by : Upali Ananda Amarasinghe
Download or read book Water Scarcity Variations Within a Country written by Upali Ananda Amarasinghe and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1999 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Lanka is a country with vast spatial and seasonal variations of water supply and demand. Statistics in the form of aggregated information at national level sometimes mask issues of local water scarcity. But when the same indicators are used at subunit level, a substantial area of the country comes under severe water-scarce conditions. Knowledge of subunit level water scarcities is very important because most of the food requirement of the country at present comes from water-scarce regions and projected additional requirements are also to be met by the same regions.
Book Synopsis Comparison of Institutional Arrangements for River Basin Management in Eight Basins by : William Andrew Blomquist
Download or read book Comparison of Institutional Arrangements for River Basin Management in Eight Basins written by William Andrew Blomquist and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents an effort toward understanding conditions that affect successful or unsuccessful efforts to devolve water resource management to the river basin level and secure active stakeholder involvement. A theoretical framework is used to identify potentially important variables related to the likelihood of success. Using a comparative case-study approach, the study examined river basins where organizations have been developed at the basin scale and where organizations perform management functions such as planning, allocation, and pricing of water supplies, flood prevention and response, and water quality monitoring and improvement. This paper compares the alternative approaches to basin governance and management adopted in the following river basins: the Alto-Tiete and Jaguaribe River Basins, Brazil; the Brantas River Basin, East Java, Indonesia; the Fraser River Basin, British Columbia, Canada; the Guadalquivir Basin, Spain; the Murray-Darling River Basin, Australia; the Tarcoles River Basin, Costa Rica; and the Warta River Basin, Poland. The analysis focuses on how management has been organized and pursued in each case in light of its specific geographical, historical, and organizational contexts and the evolution of institutional arrangements. The cases are also compared and assessed for their observed degrees of success in achieving improved stakeholder participation and integrated water resources management.
