Abstract:	"Social capital refers to those stocks of social trust, norms and networks that people can draw upon to solve the common problems. The irrigation organization that the farmers establish for managing their irrigation systems constitutes a form of social capital. The irrigation organizations have evolved over period of time for mutually beneficial collective action through the trust and norms of behavior and reciprocity among the members of the organization."
