The performance of large-scale irrigation projects worldwide has been disappointing to the international community. Continued poor performance could limit our ability to provide food and fibre for a growing, more affluent world population. Improvement in the productivity of large irrigation systems is a key component to assuring future adequate food and fibre supplies. This paper discusses the reasons for poor performance of these schemes and proposes a method to improve their performance. A main problem is that operation of these irrigation systems is not tied to productivity. As a result, the dispersive nature of these large open canal distribution systems causes extreme variability in water delivery service to users. The remedy is to break the system down at key intermediate locations within the network and to improve physical and administrative control at those locations.

“I declare it’s marked out just like a large chess-board!” Alice said at last. “There ought to be some men moving about somewhere – and so there are!” she added in a tone of delight, and her heart began to beat quickly with excitement as she went on. “It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played – all over the world – if this is the world at all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I wouldn’t mind being a Pawn, if only I might join – though of course I should like to be a Queen, best.”(Lewis Carroll “Through the looking glass”, quote taken from The complete illustrated works of Lewis

Control in the KRP
Tenant farmers should be selected for their working ability and their “calculated capacity to adapt the severe discipline of two crops per year irrigation farming ”
Therefore the Dutch consultant suggested building an organization “to have the farmers advised and guided in all phases of production ”
![Page 51: CT4410: Irrigation and tradition](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042515/5560cb8fd8b42a0d088b4b67/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Because …
“ The complexity and the scope of the project on the one hand and the scarcity of skilled and experienced manpower on the other call for a centralized type of project management, whereby all decisions on water control, water distribution, and most of those on agricultural aspects (cultivation practices, plant protection, fertilizing etc.) are to be taken or initiated by the project management, at least in the initial years.”

Translation of key principles of Gezira to Mwea

Gezira Mwea
General approach
Land use and farming
Field staff
Tenancy arrangements
A policy of control and help: control to ensure adherence to a productive system, help to make adherence at each point as easy as possible
All growers are licensed by the Scheme Management, renewably annually, and are subject to prosecution and eventual dismissal for failure to comply with Management ordersA planned system of land usage,
based on scientific experiment and practical experience, and protected by a tenancy agreement
The Settlement handles only one crop, irrigated paddy, whose essential operations are all vertically interlinked within the Scheme and Board organization
Efficient, active and honest management staff, whose conditions of service offer, as far as possible, a long-term interest in and sympathy with the project
The ratio of field staff to tenants is high, and there are parallel organizational hierarchies responsible for water control and husbandry adviceLegislation to protect the
tenancy against subdivision, sub-letting, mortgage or foreclosure except by the management for a breach of the tenancy agreement
Each tenant receives the right to four one-acre irrigation units on entry, and is not eligible to expand his holding (by the addition of irregular sized ‘extra fields’) unless it has been well-managed

Although it had to be debated upon…
• Meter-gate as off-take, with a fixed weir in the secondary canal
• Crump weir as off-take, with a control structure operated through stop logs in the secondary canal
• An undershot gate as off-take with a Begemann structure in the secondary canal
Different approaches related to (colonial) engineering schools

In conclusion:
Kano as arena for different engineering schools: different technologies
Kano as post-colonial modernization effort of African irrigation: shared idea of controlling the farmer

But: times had changed
“[F]ull level extension workers taught farmers how to make the most of irrigation technology.”
Farmers were also “instructed in the use of new and improved seed, fertlisers, insecticides and pesticides, as well as other inputs, in the right quantities and at the right time in conjunction with irrigation water.”
The resulting “[…] inability to discipline non-cooperative farmers is a constant source of frustration to management.”
