Rehabilitation of small-scale irrigation systems in Sri Lanka: state policy and practice in two systems
1990
Abeyratne, S. (International Irrigation Management Inst., Colombo (Sri lanka))
Based on a study of two small irrigation systems in Sri Lanka, this paper analyzes the impact of a government program for system rehabilitation and improvement of water management. The study reveals that during the improvement process, there had been insufficient coordination between the implementing agencies, and consultation with farmers was also below the expectations of the managers of the national program. As a result, the existing system of water allocation was disrupted, threatening the long-term impact of the program. The study draws lessons for improving future programs of this nature in Sri Lanka and elsewhere
