The paper discusses a representative case of transition to farmer management in the American west. It first discusses the national policies which govern irrigation management in the United States and institutions which implement them, and then describes the Columbia Basin Project. There follows a summary of the results of the analysis of the impacts of the transition, organized around four topics -- technology adoption, hydrologic performance, financial performance, and farm profitability. It then offers several general conclusions and goes on to identify conditions felt to have influenced and facilitated the successful transfer. Finally, it suggests important lessons for those attempting similar transfers in developing countries.
