Participatory irrigation management goes merely beyond nominally involving farmers in irrigation managment.  Participation refers to a change in traditional forms of Governance by Irrigation Agenceis and Governments alone.  The topic page a new feature on the website is to give a glimpse of the issues relating to participatory irrigation management and other merging themes.  Starting with the experience of the Phillipines, participatory irrigation managment today needs to be visualised as a philosophy with a much broader objective of stakeholder participation in the context of Integrated Water Resource Management.
