The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that it is possible to significantly improve the information required for effective demand-based irrigation management at relatively low cost, using simple techniques that are within the capabilities of field staff of irrigation agencies. This report describes the results of a pilot experiment and training program, called the Management Information Project, conducted in West Java, Indonesia in 1989 as part of a wider study of Efficient Irrigation Management and System Turnover funded by ADB and the Ford Foundation. The training program was developed under a collaborative program between IIMI, the Directorate of Irrigation I, and the West Java Provincial Irrigation Service of the Public Works Department. Methods were pilot tested in the Rectang, Ciwaringin, Ciherang and Maneungteung (or Cikeusik) irrigation systems in West Java. The methods have largely been adopted as standard operating procedures in several parts of West Java.
