“…Participatory irrigation management refers to farmers with common interests appealing to actively participate in irrigation management to realize the good operation of irrigation systems (Ghosh et al ., 2019). Many farmers participate collectively in the whole process of irrigation management, including their cognition of participatory irrigation management, choice of participation mode and management of their participation behaviour, etc.…”

Participatory irrigation management is key to realizing the virtuous circle in which irrigation facilities are used and managed in rural China. Therefore, it is essential to explore the key factors influencing participatory irrigation management. This paper innovatively analyses the impact of external institutional constraints and internal moral obligation of farmers on participatory irrigation management by using a structural equation model (SEM) and drawing on survey data from 1543 householders in the Yellow River basin. The results indicate that: (i) generally, both institutional constraints and moral obligation have significant positive impacts on collective action in participatory irrigation management; (ii) moral obligation plays an active regulating role in the process of institutional constraints affecting collective action; (iii) collective action contributes positively to the performance of participatory irrigation management. This paper shows that institutional constraints and moral obligation need to be taken into account in participatory irrigation management, and these considerations can offer some insights into governments in managing irrigation systems.

“…Assessing group dynamics means assessing the strength contained in a group, as this determines group behaviour and group members' ability to achieve the group's goals. Ghosh et al (2019) used several parameters to assess the group dynamics of some WUAs in India, such as group participation, decision-making procedures, group atmosphere, empathy, interpersonal trust, and social support. Supriyadi (2008) conducted similar research in the Polokarto District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia.…”

“…Even so, the results are mixed. Some cases of collective action for irrigation management face difficulties (Letsoalo & Van Averbeke, 2004;Moustafa, 2004), whereas other cases are successful (Ghosh et al, 2019;Huamanchumo et al, 2008;Rap, 2006;Vandersypen et al, 2008).…”

Farmers’ participation in water resource management in Indonesia has been accommodated through Law No. 7/2004 and Government Regulation No. 20/2006 regarding irrigation. In government regulations, farmers’ participation in irrigation water management has been described in detail, with one of the components of irrigation network management being operations and maintenance. Most irrigation system problems are related to irrigation networks. Farmers’ participation in the Water Users Association (WUA), a farmer institution responsible for managing and developing irrigation networks at the tertiary level, determines how irrigation network management activities are carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the socio-economic characteristics of farmers and of group participation of a WUA in carrying out irrigation management activities in operations and maintenance activities. The result is connected to the physical condition of the irrigation network. The research took place in the village of Sumber Rejo in the Punggur Utara irrigation area, which is in Lampung Province, Indonesia, and is where WUA Harapan Maju is active. Samples were determined based on a random sampling method, which found that the sample size required for the study was 80 farmers. The results show that of socio-economic factors, the most influential is the number of farmers’ dependents, followed by the land area owned by each farmer. It was also found that group participation of WUA Harapan Maju was categorised as “barely” adequate. This result was confirmed by the condition of the irrigation system in the Punggur Utara irrigation area, which was also “barely” adequate, and the system’s operations and maintenance needed to be improved.

“…Over the past three decades, it has emerged as the primary driver of irrigated area growth, and it now makes up more than 60 per cent of the nation's irrigated area. According to estimates, irrigated agriculture today provides more than 70 per cent of India's food grain production, with groundwater playing a significant role in this process (Ghosh et al, 2019). This revolution has largely gone unrecognized since the expansion of groundwater irrigation has not primarily been driven by government or policy but rather gradually through highly decentralized private activity (Madramootoo & Fyles, 2010).…”

The groundwater irrigation, catering to more than 60 per cent of total irrigation in India, has significantly contributed to food grains production. Participatory irrigation management programme has been implemented transferring irrigation management to WUAs. Present study was undertaken during 2019 to explore cropping scenario in groundwater irrigation command under jurisdiction of WUAs in Burdwan district of West Bengal covering a random sample of 120 farmers. It is revealed that paddy was the major crop in both kharif and summer season. During rabi season, potato was grown in larger areas followed by mustard. While all 120 farmers had grown paddy as single crop in kharif season, 100 and 82 farmers have cultivated potato and mustard in rabi season and 75 farmers have grown boro rice during summer season. Cultivated land utilization index value was more than 50 per cent. Crop diversity index (CDI) value of 36 per cent showed lack of crop diversification in groundwater irrigation command areas that warrants need of bringing more areas under different crops. Multiple cropping index of 176 per cent showed a higher cropping intensity in groundwater irrigation command. Thus, Extension advisory services need to promote crop diversification in groundwater irrigation command areas through proper crop planning and capacity building of WUAs.
