Book Synopsis Guidelines for Benchmarking Performance in the Irrigation and Drainage Sector by : Hector M. Malano
Download or read book Guidelines for Benchmarking Performance in the Irrigation and Drainage Sector written by Hector M. Malano and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many formal irrigation schemes are performing inefficiently for a number of reasons, among which the poor performance of irrigation institutions is one. Benchmarking may be defined as the identification and application of organisation specific best practices with the goal of improving competitiveness, performance and efficiency of such schemes. These guidelines are neither perfect nor final; rather, they represent the beginning of a long and exciting process of benchmarking in the irrigation and drainage sector.

Book Synopsis Costs and Performance of Irrigation Projects by : Arlene B. Inocencio
Download or read book Costs and Performance of Irrigation Projects written by Arlene B. Inocencio and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2007 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High irrigation investment costs together with declining world prices for food and the failures of a number of high profile past irrigation projects are the main reasons for the reluctance of development agencies and governments in sub-Saharan Africa to invest more resources in irrigation. This study aims to systematically establish whether costs of irrigation projects in sub-Saharan Africa are truly high, determine the factors which influence costs and performance of irrigation projects, and recommend cost-reducing and performance-enhancing options to make irrigation investments in the region more attractive. It analyzes 314 irrigation projects implemented from 1967 to 2003 in 50 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America funded by the World Bank, African Development Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

Book Synopsis Irrigation and Drainage Performance Assessment by : Marinus Gijsberthus Bos
Download or read book Irrigation and Drainage Performance Assessment written by Marinus Gijsberthus Bos and published by CABI. This book was released on 2005 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective irrigation and drainage systems are essential if growing demands for water resources are to be met. For the use of water for irrigation to be improved we must understand current levels of performance. This book draws together the growing body of knowledge on irrigation and drainage performance assessment that has been gained over the last twenty years. It provides guidelines for practitioners to enable them to design and carry out performance assessment and implement performance-based management. Developed by a working group of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) it provides a generic framework for performance assessment with guidance on the theory and practice of how to audit and assess the performance of irrigation and drainage schemes.
Book Synopsis Agricultural Sustainability by : Gary W vanLoon
Download or read book Agricultural Sustainability written by Gary W vanLoon and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how to develop methods for evaluating and assessing the sustainable development of agricultural systems in a micro-region. A comprehensive and practical book, it guides the reader through details of the methodology needed to carry out an appropriate assessment, and focuses on the central problem of whether productivity can be maintained. More specifically, it: - Discusses the meanings of sustainability and sustainable development, and reviews the issues related to agricultural sustainability. - Examines the theory and practice of indicators and delineates the six categories considered necessary for a holistic evaluation: productivity, stability, efficiency, durability, compatibility and equity.
Book Synopsis Accounting for Water Use and Productivity by : David Molden
Download or read book Accounting for Water Use and Productivity written by David Molden and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1997 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a conceptual framework for water accounting and provides generic terminologies and procedures to describe the status of water resource use and consequences of water resources related actions. The framework applies to water resource use at three levels of analysis: a use level such as an irrigated field or household, a service level such as an irrigation or water supply system, and a water basin level that may include several uses. Water accounting terminology and performance indicators are developed and presented with examples at all the three levels. Concepts and terminologies presented are developed to be supportive in a number of activities including: identification of opportunities for water savings and increasing water productivity; developing a better understanding of present patterns of water use and impacts of interventions; improving communication among professionals and communication to non-water professionals; and improving the rationale for allocation of water among uses. It is expected that with further application, these water accounting concepts will evolve into a robust, supporting methodology for water basin analysis.

Book Synopsis Performance Evaluation of the Bhakra Irrigation System, India, Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques by : R. Sakthivadivel
Download or read book Performance Evaluation of the Bhakra Irrigation System, India, Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques written by R. Sakthivadivel and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1999 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The results demonstrate the synergy possible from applying satellite remote sensing and GIS to evaluate trends in rising water tables and salinity, which are two important threats to the sustainability of irrigation systems, and the cost-effectiveness of these techniques as diagnostic tools for irrigation system improvement.
