The Irrigation Operator of the Future : A Toolkit - Information Pack for Irrigation Service Delivery Performance Assessment and Planning : iOF Toolkit Spreadsheet

Overview & Synopsis

Irrigation operators everywhere are under pressure to perform better. There is demand for more - and more reliable - water alongside greater resource scarcity and uncertainty. Infrastructure investment is increasingly constrained by dwindling government financial support and, in many cases, farmer willingness or ability to pay. New environmental, climate, and social priorities have shifted the policy and regulatory environment. These realities bear heavily on operators and call for quick and innovative solutions to solve their problems. Defining realistic strategies based on operator capability and resources remains a major challenge.
