Worldwide agricultural areas with/without irrigation and drainage

Irrigated agriculture: source of salts
Salts in irrigation water: 0.2 – 0.8 mg/l = 2.5 – 10 ton/ha/year
Example Egypt
Irrigation:
Vi = 1240 mm/year = 1240 x 10-3 x 104 m3/ha/year = 12.4 x 103 m3/ha/year
Salinity of irrigation water:
ECi = 0.3 dS/m = 0.3 x 640 mg/l = 192 mg/l = 1.92 x 10-4 ton/m3
Total salts brought into the soil:
S = Vi x ECi = 12.4 x 103 m3/ha/year x 1.92 x 10-4 ton/m3 = 2.4 ton/ha/year
Salts are brought in with irrigation water

DRAINAGE: The forgotten factor in agricultural water management
• Seven reasons why drainage is needed!• Seven institutional aspects why drainage is
different.• Seven challenges to make drainage work!
Seven institutional aspects why drainage is different (1)
Drainage is at the end of the pipeline
Madramootoo, 1997, IDNP, 2003
Seven institutional aspects why drainage is different (2)
Enforcement of rules and regulations is difficult
IDNP, 2003
Seven institutional aspects why drainage is different (3)
With small farmers, drainage is always a joint-effort
IDNP, 2003; Ritzema, 2009
Seven institutional aspects why drainage is different (4)

Seven institutional aspects why drainage is different
SUMMARY:1. Drainage is at the end of the pipeline2. Enforcement of rules and regulations is difficult3. With small farmers, drainage is always a joint-
effort Boundaries irrigation unit drainage unit4. Disposal of drainage water creates off-site
externalities5. High investment costs & benefits are long-term6. Reuse of drainage water.
DRAINAGE: The forgotten factor in agricultural water management
Seven reasons why drainage is needed!Seven institutional aspects why drainage is
different.Seven challenges to make drainage work!
Seven challenges to make drainage work (1)
Institutional menu for drainage goods and services
Ritzema, et al., 2003
Seven challenges to make drainage work (2)
Investments in drainage
infrastructure: low or
high
Nijland, et al., 2005
Seven challenges to make drainage work (3)
Organisation: Irrigation
and/or Drainage
Departments to be
modified?
IDNP, 2003; Ritzema, 2009
Seven challenges to make drainage work (4)
Maintenance of the drainage infrastructure
IDNP, 2003; HW Wallingford
Seven challenges to make drainage work (5)
Participatory drainage management
Malano, 2000
Seven challenges to make drainage work (6)
Reuse of drainage water
El-Din El-Quosy, D., 1989
Seven challenges to make drainage work (7)
Safe disposal
Ritzema and Brain, 2006
Seven challenges to make drainage work
SUMMARY:1. Institutional menu for drainage goods and services 2. Investments in drainage infrastructure: low or high?3. Organisation: State Irrigation Departments have to be
modified? 4. Maintenance of the drainage infrastructure5. Participatory drainage management6. Reuse of drainage water7. Safe disposal
DRAINAGE: The forgotten factor in agricultural water management
CONCLUSIONS:1. Drainage is needed 2. Drainage pays3. Drainage & irrigation4. Role of Government in financing, regulation and supervision5. Decentralised drainage management6. Stakeholders participation in planning, investment and
management7. Co-ordination among the organisations should be
institutionalised.
The Way Forward
• Balancing top-down against bottom-up
• From standardization to flexibility• Focus on capacity development.
