'A unique and significant longitudinal study of irrigation intervention in FMIS in Nepal that revives important debates on how irrigation management evolves and how this can be investigated. This concise and accessible book can inform and challenge agencies and donors to reflect on policies and researchers to argue further the study of collective action and political theory in irrigation management.' – Linden Vincent, Wageningen University, The Netherlands 'Improving Irrigation in Asia by Elinor Ostrom and colleagues is grounded in intimate detail on water management experience in Nepal while being informed by broadly-applicable concepts and behavioral theories. It greatly advances our understanding of management options and effects. As the water resources available for agriculture become more limited and unreliable, the efficiency and productivity with which irrigation water is used must be increased. While better technology can assist in this quest, the greatest potential gains lie in the social and organizational domains.' – Norman Uphoff, Cornell University, US 'Governance of irrigation systems is complex, needing social, technical and financial actions that support farming. Few people have as much knowledge of self-governing irrigation systems as these authors, and few countries have as many of these systems as Nepal. Lessons from these small irrigation systems can be adapted to much larger units, and to other kinds of activity. External assistance on a modest scale could generate practical benefit, by encouraging self-reliance in communities.' – Charles Abernethy, International Irrigation Management Institute, Colombo (1987–94) and Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand (1996–99) Improving Irrigation in Asia is based on a longitudinal study over two decades on innovative intervention for sustained performance of irrigation systems. The work identifies key factors that can help explain the performance of interventions, and explicates lessons for resource management and the management of development assistance. In 1985, the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat of Nepal and the International Irrigation Management Institute developed an ingenious intervention program for nineteen irrigation systems located in the middle hills of Nepal in an attempt to overcome the prevailing 'best-practices' traps, in regard to assisting irrigation systems. This book highlights the innovativeness of the project lay in its provision of ample opportunities for farmers to make decisions regarding the operation of the irrigation system based on their local knowledge and creativity. The authors of this work, Elinor Ostrom, Wai Fung Lam, Prachanda Pradhan and Ganesh P. Shivakoti provide detailed analysis of these interventions and support the conclusion that farmers can build on an innovative intervention that not only provides physical improvements but also enhances farmers' problem-solving capacity. They argue that to achieve sustainable improvements in performance, the farmers themselves need to engage in collective action over time and support local entrepreneurs who provide leadership and stimulate adjustments to change. Providing practical policy solutions, this study will prove a fascinating and invaluable read for academics and scholars of development studies, resource management, and irrigation studies, as well as development specialists in international agencies, policymakers in governments and international donor agencies.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Institutional change and intervention outcome: Comparing assistance schemes for farmer managed irrigation systems in Nepal submitted by Pradyumna Amatya for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in July 2002 This study is built upon the idea of understanding and, hence, improving intervention outcome in common pool resources (CPR) in general and irrigation in particular. Drawing upon an institutional analysis framework, this study addressed two most fundamental questions in the context of irrigation management in Nepal- What explains intervention success? And, is institutional change a necessary condition for successful intervention? Two explanations, one mainstream and one alternative, were discussed in this thesis to verify the relationship among major variables in this study in a response to the identified questions. Major variables of the study were- intervention design, governing structure, and intervention outcome- the last variable being dependent on the first two. Mainstream explanation basically followed the assumption that once a good design of intervention schemes or conducive governance structure is there, good outcomes will follow automatically. Although this is very well accepted in the prior studies of this topic, this study in its alternative explanation challenged like assumptions. To address these explanations, a two-phase field-based case study was conducted. In the first phase carried out in the winter of 1999, study sites were finalized, eight irrigation systems selected from those sites, and a brief pilot study undertaken. In the second phase during the summer of 2000, a semi-structured interview was performed among the participants from those systems, four each from two most agriculturally potential districts of Nepal- Chitwan and Nawalparasi. Comparative analysis of empirical data sets revealed that institutional change is imperative to influence the outcome of intervention. Acknowledging both intervention design and governing structure as major causes of intervention outcome and the crucial avenues through which intervention can be made to influence existing institutions and outcome, this study constantly argued and analytically verified that intervention would succeed only when it could trigger off change in local institutions. This study, therefore, refuted the mainstream argument about the deterministic effect of intervention types and governance structures on intervention outcomes. Simply put, this implied that mainstream explanation would thrive only when the institutional change is taken into account. Although institutional change was shown to be a necessary condition to explain intervention outcome, such change per se was found inadequate to satisfy the explanation pertaining to successful outcome. Rather, the institutional change patterns- the consistency, magnitude, and level of institutional change- superseded mere institutional change. Broad and general notions of institutional change would do little to influence policies about improving outcome of external assistance in farmer managed irrigation systems. Rules not suited to system operation and management must be changed while emphasis should be placed on turning those changes on paper into real changes in practice. It was found that the following factors helped farmers

This monograph examines the construction, operation and maintenance tasks that shape the nature of locally managed irrigation systems. The objective of the book is to identify relevant experiences and lessons for staff who are responsible for working with locally managed systems in three types of programs: direct assistance to existing locally managed irrigation systems, turnover of public owned systems to local management, and transfer of partial management to farmer groups within larger systems that remain publicly controlled.
