Agricultural water management is a vital practice in ensuring
reduction, and environmental protection. After decades of successfully
expanding irrigation and improving productivity, farmers and managers
face an emerging crisis in the form of poorly performing irrigation
schemes, slow modernization, declining investment, constrained water
availability, and environmental degradation.
More and better investments in agricultural water are needed. In
response, the World Bank, in conjunction with many partner agencies,
has compiled a selection of good experiences that can guide
practitioners in the design of quality investments in agricultural
water.
