Empirical Evidence of Irrigation Management in the Tonle Sap Basin: Issues and Challenges
Abstract/Summary
Over the last few decades, state agencies, development organisations and private sector agencies have focused efforts not only on developing physical irrigation infrastructure but also on establishing effective management mechanisms. The empirical data compiled in this paper identifies the everyday issues of irrigation water governance at local level, particularly coordination between actors, water allocation within and between schemes, farmer participation, project evaluation and planning, and the emergence of private schemes.
