About the Book
Irrigated agriculture will have an important role in helping to increase the production of food and fibre to meet future demands. To meet these challenges requires improvements in the way irrigation systems are managed and operated. Modernization of irrigation systems involves institutional, organizational and technological change. This publication reviews irrigation schemes and modernisation initiatives from around the world in order to assess and comment on the impact of modern water control and management approaches. Modernisation is shown to have a positive impact. The report concludes with recommendations for the consideration of planners, managers and lending agencies so that the benefits of modern irrigated agriculture can be realised.
