The authors were asked to answer the question ?small-scale irrigation: is this the future??. Taking as a starting point the analyses and of the IWMI-FAO-ADB study on Revitalizing Asia?s Irrigation and its key strategies, the paper compares atomistic irrigation, traditional small-scale and large-s...

In most countries and river basins, additional development of irrigation at whatever scale is not an option and the focus will be on improving the productivity and sustainability of existing systems. In areas where irrigation development is still possible, options remain open. Demography, market ...

The paper explores tactics and strategies for the modernization of existing and the potential for new large-scale systems and for supporting and sustaining atomistic and small-scale irrigation, institutional and policy innovations, and tools to facilitate dynamic planning and management of the se...

A considerable body of knowledge exists on how to support these strategies, transform large-scale irrigation systems and promote various forms of atomistic, small-scale and large-scale irrigation systems. Tools that support long-term sectoral planning and management for future investment and the ...

We need to move from competition and conflict between atomistic, small-scale and large-scale irrigation to a fluid logic of complementarily, combination and convergence. For this to happen, the virtual reality of official agency outlooks, imported frameworks, and descriptions of the sectors and t...

Changing the outlook of the sector and effecting the necessary structural and policy reforms, which are required to change decision-making on future investments in the sector will be difficult. Capacity building and changing practice and results on the ground, together with the adoption of robust...

In this paper, I will argue that groundwater irrigation in well-endowed alluvial aquifers of the Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra (GMB) is a source of wealth and welfare (and not threat) to its largely poor and agrarian population. I will illustrate this with the case of West Bengal. First, based on seco...
