Financing Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation and Drainage Services in Asia

The World Bank’s policy on cost recovery in irrigation projects some forty years ago was founded on the principles of economic efficiency, income distribution, and public savings. Over this extended period, however, it may be observed that the principles are virtually unchanged, while the terminologies became a little more complicated and refined.

The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture

The collective impacts of pressures from competing demands on land and water resources, and the resulting agricultural transformations, have put some production systems at risk of breakdown in their environmental integrity and productive capacity. Greater collaboration among stakeholders to ensure the effective transboundary governance of these resources is essential.

How Irrigation is Responding to the Challenges of Volatility, Vulnerability, and Changes in Agriculture

Irrigation is significantly important to food security, social and economic development, and social stability. Enhancing irrigation development to increase water use efficiency and productivity is needed. The government should continue to play an important role in irrigation development to achieve food security and increase farmers’ income.
