Abstract
Irrigation problems can be quite complex. Improper water distribution along the watercourse, seepage, and inadequate drainage are common problems faced by farmers in irrigated agriculture which cannot be solved by the efforts of each farmer individually. This booklet seeks to show why it is important for farmers on a meska or canal to work together by means of a recognized organization--an organization designed for the single purpose of serving their needs as the country's smallest irrigational unit. The booklet will examine what an Irrigation Association is and how it is organized. It will point out possible activities for an Irrigation Association, and give recommendations for organizing such an association
