Research Abstract

The purpose of the study is to assess impacts of on-farm level irrigation infrastructural development on dry season rice production and water management in irrigated areas of Myanmar. Results showed the effectiveness of the development for increasing rice productivity and irrigated area that also lead to enhancing farmers' participation for the operation and maintenance. The study also resulted in identifying issues in infrastructural development and water management in developing countries of the monsoon Asia.
