Over the past few years, large investments in irrigation infrastructure have resulted in substantial irrigation potential, which, however, remains largely underutilized in the absence of effective irrigation management reform initiatives.The Department of Water Resources, Government of Orissa, and the Asian Development Bank organized a National Workshop on Participatory Irrigation Management and Integrated Water Resource Management as part of the design process for the proposed Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Project. The objective of the workshop was to share experiences from around the country regarding major issues in water management.
