The degree of performance achieved in managing irrigation projects depends on a number of physical, social and institutional factors and to a large extent on the basic physical infrastructure provided. The first four chapters examine how these various factor affect the irrigation system performance in Thailand. The paper briefly describes the physical characteristics of Thailand which affect irrigated agriculture, then gives an overview of Thailand's irrigation development and the objectives which have determined system design, and finally analyzes the various factors now constraining system performance throughout the country. The concluding chapters explore the general topics of main system improvement and tertiary system development, and are implicitly aimed at the controversial question of whether irrigation performance can be improved solely through improved management or whether physical facilities need to be upgraded as well. This section reviews the main approaches now available to improve canal system management in new and rehabilitated projects. The paper goes on to examine the impact of design and management of water distribution at the farm level and the relation of the tertiary system to the main system.
