Future irrigation training and research: Needs, strategies and means

Abstract:

The paper presents an analysis of the needs, strategies and means for training and research in irrigation. Some of the existing and proposed training programmes in irrigation and related fields are evaluated. The importance of enhancing professional skills of irrigation personnel through training and research, and of training farmers and communal leaders in water management skills for succesful irrigation is highlighted. The major concerns in future irrigation training and research are focused on social, economic and political issues which affect the basic tenets of efficiency and quality in irrigation water allocation and management. Action programmes to enhance both capabilities and investment in training and research in irrigation are proposed. © 1992 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
