Resumen

Descripción

Three chapters are presented in this section. The first, by C. Gopinath and A. H. Kalro, reviews the sustainabi1ity of some recent efforts to improve the management of Indian irrigation systems, largely below the watercourse outlet. The second, by Ramesh Bhatia, presents a critique of current policies of irrigation financing and cost recovery. The third, by Bhanwar Singh and Radhika Ramasubban, looks at the performance of an autonomous service agency organized on principles different than those of the typical Irrigation Department: the Kerala Water Authority, although concerned with supplying water for drinking rather than irrigation, suggests some lessons for alternative forms of organizing and managing irrigation.
