In order to face the challenge of disappointing returns on public investment in irrigation and drainage, new solutions have emerged. These solutions are based on widely available technology and new management and governance options. The main message of 'Re-engaging in Agricultural Water Management' is that the irrigation and drainage sector should not continue to be dealt with as a standalone sector, but should be integrated into a broader perspective, one that embraces the objectives of productivity growth, poverty reduction, natural resources management and environmental protection.
