Riassunto

"This well documented book is written with clarity and presented in a style conducive for easier reading and quicker grasp of the main ideas. Such positive attributes of the book come as much from the authors' experiences and understanding of the subject as from the fact that it is planned and prepared over a seven-year period under the USAID funded Water Resources Management and Training Project of the Central Water Commission and the irrigation departments of 11 large Indian states. . . . A good source material for further research and a valuable guide for all those involved in organising farmers for managing irrigation together. Since the policy significance of the subject matter is going to increase with time, so is the value of this book."--Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics"This book is a valuable addition to the literature on the subject of managing irrigation systems and the authors deserve encomiums for producing such a useful work for the benefit of students, social scientists and irrigation administrators of our country."
