Asian Canal Irrigation
![Page 2: Asian Canal Irrigation. Asian Canal Irrigation Contingencies: Then and Now ThenNow Nature of state Hard state and strong authority structures Soft state.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649f275503460f94c3ebd9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Asian Canal Irrigation Contingencies: Then and Now
Then Now
Nature of state
Hard state and strong authority structures
Soft state and weak authority structures
Land revenue the only source of state income
Land revenue insignificant for the state
Nature of society
Forced labor was common Forced labor is uncommon
Low demographic pressure on farm land made extensive farming viable
High demographic pressure encourages intensive land use
Most Asian irrigation systems irrigated rice
Irrigation systems support diversified cropping patterns
Institutions No private land ownership with farmers
Farmers have secure ownership rights on land
Technology Well irrigation was laborious and costly
Well irrigation is easy and relatively cheap

Meta Questions for Canal Irrigation SRP
• What is the relevant concept of ‘irrigation system performance’ under different ‘contingency clusters’?
• How best to benchmark the performance of irrigation systems in different ‘contingency clusters’?
• How to use performance benchmarking to identify and design levers for change; best practices and ‘next practices’?
• How to use performance benchmarking to evolve and implement change-management strategies for canal systems?
• Coordination and accountability between farmers and agencies. (e.g. ISF, WUA)
• Operation and maintenance expenses.

SSA Irrigation
• Assessing irrigation potential based on biophysical and socioeconomic factors
• Improving livelihoods through expansion of smallholder irrigation
• Evaluating consequences of foreign direct investments in irrigated landscapes?

Groundwater Irrigation

Knowledge Gaps: Groundwater Irrigation
• Potential role of groundwater storage in CC scenarios• Groundwater Energy Nexus• Groundwater quality and impact on livelihood
(arsenic, fluoride)• Performance of groundwater agencies• Expanding small holder groundwater irrigation

Solutions are known, but which one(s) is for my backyard?
• Issues– Scale (basin, scheme, farm, Field) – Recycling, mixing, pollution– Trans-boundary issues– Climate change & Salinity Control

Peri-Urban Agriculture
1. How do we assess potential of PU towards food security, poverty alleviation and improved livelihoods?
2. How do land and water resources constrain achieving PU its potential?
3. How do PU farmers cope with urban development pressures?
4. PU and improved nutrition5. IFPRI, IWMI, Bioversity, FAO, WorldFish, RUAF, AVRDC
