How Participatory is Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM)?
Author InfoV. Ratna Reddy P Prudhvikar Reddy Abstract It is argued that the reason for the ills of irrigation management is the alienation of farmers from the process of planning and implementation. Often ‘lack of political will’ is identified as the main reason for the tardy progress in irrigation reforms at the state level. Andhra Pradesh has demonstrated the political will by initiating widespread irrigation reforms through legislation. This paper, based on the situation after six years of WUAs in existence, makes an attempt to provide a comprehensive view on the status and functioning of the Water Users’ Associations in the State.
