Planning And Evaluation Of Irrigation Projects

Book Description :

Planning and Evaluation of Irrigation Projects: Methods and Implementation presents the considerations, options and factors necessary for effective implementation of irrigation strategies, going further to provide methods for evaluating the efficiency of systems-in-place for remedial correction as needed. As the first book to take this lifecycle approach to agricultural irrigation, it includes real-world examples not only on natural resource availability concerns, but also on financial impacts and measurements. With 21 chapters divided into two sections, this book is a valuable resource for agricultural and hydrology engineers, conservation scientists and anyone seeking to implement and maintain irrigation systems. Uses real-world examples to present practical insights Incorporates both planning and evaluation for full-scope understanding and application Illustrates both potential benefits and limitations of irrigation solutions Provides potential means to increase crop productivity that can result in improved farm income

Book Description :

Weaknesses in planning and implementation (P&I) have been identified as one of the main reasons for the disappointing results of agricultural water development and management projects. Based on a review and critical analysis of experiences and case studies in sub-Saharan Africa, this studycomponent proposes practical ways of improving performance related to planning and implementation and thereby enhancing the returns to investments in agricultural water.

Book Description :

Irrigation has been and will continue to be an agricultural and rural investment priority. Development of the irrigation sector faces multiple challenges, including water scarcity and degradation, competition over shared resources, and the impact of climate change. Innovations are needed to address these challenges, as well as emerging needs, and to promote productive, equitable and sustainable water management. These guidelines, produced by an inter-agency team, highlight experiences and lessons learned from global irrigation investment operations. They introduce innovative approaches, tools and references, and provide practical guidance on how to incorporate or apply them at each stage of the investment project cycle. The guidelines will be a useful resource for national and international professionals involved in irrigation investment operations.

Book Description :

Between the years 2000 and 2025 the world?s population is expected to rise from six billion to about 8 billion. At the present time, irrigated agriculture provides one third of world food output. So the advance of the irrigated sector on a global scale is a vital part of the development of the human race's capacity to feed itself. This requires many skills, including an economic understanding of the role of water in the irrigation and drainage of farmland. The purpose of this book is to provide a text in securing such an understanding that will assist both students and professionals in the fields of agriculture, development studies, geography, hydrology and planning. As an introduction to the subject, no prior knowledge of economic theory is assumed. The scope of the book is wide both in its analysis and its geographical coverage. A general introduction to irrigation and to economics is followed by a treatment of farmer’s need for irrigation water and the costs they face in accessing it. Three chapters cover the supply-side: infrastructure, operation and maintenance. An introduction is next given to the economic evaluation of irrigation and drainage projects continuing with a consideration of water allocation between sectors at the regional level. The book ends with a summary of the analysis as well as sixteen proposals for policy development. The approach is to make it possible for readers from a variety of backgrounds to readily access the subject matter. Each chapter begins with general, analytic themes and is followed by one or two detailed case studies drawn from Australia, Brazil, England, India, the Mediterranean, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestine, the Philippines and the USA. The desire is to continually interrelate theory and fieldwork in an argument that is clearly expressed, well-structured and as easy to read as the subject permits. The book is the first of its kind published since 1981.

Book Description :

The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) of the World Bank has undertaken impact evaluations of the Bank's support to irrigation in Andhra Pradesh, India (under AP Irrigation II and III), and of the U.K. Department for International Development supported Rural Livelihoods Project (RLP). This is one of a series of IEG impact evaluations (see appendix H). IEG's program of impact evaluation is in part carried out under a Department for International Development-IEG partnership agreement; hence the focus on RLP. However, survey villages are also covered by the Bank supported DPIP project, so that the findings are also relevant to this project.
