Q

Problems in Irrigation in the Philippines

A
  • The level of irrigation development is very low
  • The existing large gravity irrigation system have continuously been performing inefficiently and
    below expectations
  • The sub-optimal performance is due to interrelated technical, hydrologic, socio- economic, institutional, environmental and political issues and constraints besetting the national efforts towards accelerated irrigation
    development
