原则上，参与式灌溉管理是指灌溉用户参与各级灌溉管理的所有方面。在实践中，全世界都在努力实现这些原则。但是，在PIM的实施过程中，农民与政府的角色分担问题十分突出，需要有明确的方法和思路来改进PIM。特别是，需要广泛讨论角色分担问题。本文以丰川灌溉工程为例，介绍了PIM中日本式角色共享的实现方法。在行政方面，该项目由五个实体联合管理，其中包括公共部门和农民组织。这些实体明确划分了各自的职能作用，将灌溉管理所有方面的最终决定权交给了有组织的农民。根据灌溉系统的不同层次，这种权力既可以直接实现，也可以通过土地改良区的代表制度实现。该公共实体提供协调支持，以创建一个透明的讨论论坛，并提供科学信息，供农民理解和决策。这一项目的参与性体制安排使定期缺水的高地地区得以恢复。
In principle, participatory irrigation management (PIM) means the involvement of irrigation users in all aspects at all levels of irrigation management. In practice, all over the world efforts are being made to realize the principles. However, in the execution of PIM, role sharing between farmers and government is a serious problem, and thus a clear method and ideas are needed to improve PIM. In particular, a broad discussion of role sharing is demanded. This article illustrates how the Japanese way of role sharing in PIM is realized based on the case of the Toyogawa Irrigation Project. Organizationally, the project is jointly managed by five entities, including both the public sector and the farmers’ organizations. These entities have clearly divided their functional roles, with the ultimate decision power in all aspects of irrigation management given to organized farmers. The power is realized either directly or through the land improvement districts’ representative system depending on the levels of the irrigation system. The public entity provides coordination support to create a transparent forum of discussion together with scientific information for farmers’ understanding and decision making. The participatory institutional line-up of this project enables the upland areas that suffered periodically from water deficits.
