The performance of many canal irrigation delivery systems is unsatisfactory in terms of: (i) water resources management; (ii) service to irrigated agriculture; and (iii) costeffectiveness of infrastructure management.

Large agency-managed systems have been turned over partially or completely to various types of management bodies. However, the results have usually been disappointing.
