Abstract/Description
Many irrigation systems in India perform at levels far below their design standard, and the need to improve the performance of existing irrigation systems is therefore urgent. The performance of an irrigation system can be improved by the following: (1) Improving the physical structures (hardware improvements), (2) Improving the operational performance of the system by improved management (software improvements), and (3) Augmenting the supply of water to the system if water within the system is limited.
