Wherever irrigation exists, there is also some form of organization for managing the system. This paper, based on experience in Nepal's Gulmi, Palpa, and Nawal Parasi Districts, alerts the reader as to what to look for in community irrigation organizations. In Nepal, a broad range of local organizations and methods exist for developing and maintaining basic irrigation systems. The sophistication of each organization is directly related to how much labor must be mobilized to maintain the water delivery system. Specific examples are presented of existing practices in: (1) irrigation system construction; (2) water allocation and distribution; (3) operation and maintenance; (4) local resource mobilization; and (5) conflict management. The authors conclude that limited governmental resources can best be utilized by working with existing community organizations and mobilizing the local resources represented by them. Included is an 18-page question guide for assessing local resources for irrigation development.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
