"Turkey has been transferring partial responsibility for managing irrigation schemes to farmers at a rapid pace over the past three years. This experience has been judged a success by proponents, largely on the basis of the rapid rate of transfer. This paper will evaluate the performance outcomes of the transfer, to the extent that they are so far evident, in terms of system hydraulic and agricultural performance. It will also explore the motives of the national irrigation agency, DSI, in undertaking the transfer program, the motives of farmers in taking on managerial responsibility between DSI and the farmers' association, and the extent to which farmers' associations have acquired actual control over the water resource -- in both the short and long term. Discussion and conclusions will be based on case studies undertaken inb Izmir, Antalya, and Adana in early 1996." |
