Durable management of agriculture hydraulic systems: Effects on tariffing and the public policies in agricultural irrigation
Abstract
An ASA will be considered sustainable if it is
capable of developing maintenance and renewal financing strategies that can be reproduced over time. In other words, it must develop strategies that make it possible to respect the financial constraints of future members and the government’s desire to become less involved. Using an analysis grid of ASA management styles, we underscore the predominance of short or medium-term strategies.

Agrarian Dynamics, irrigation and institutions in the delta of the Red River (Viet-nam). A multi-scalar analysis of the agricultural management of water
Abstract
This thesis is the result of a research task initiated in 1994 on the agricultural management of water, in the delta of the Red River in Vietnam. Its object is firstly to show that the transfer of management operated in the agricultural management of water of the delta is the result of innovations caused by the local actors. The second objective consists in specifying the developed methodological approach. The bases of this one are to be sought in the Social Management of Water, which combines a systemic vision heritage of the analysis of the agrarian systems of the agronomists, with a spatial vision, borrowed from the geography, and cultural, borrowed from the social anthropology.

Study of the operation of a hydraulic system in transformation: the irrigation canal El Resqa, Behera governorate, Nile delta
Abstract
This report presents the study of the management of a secondary irrigation canal located at the West of the Nile delta: the canal El Resqa. This canal at the present time is in course of transformation and its modification is part of a vast programme of modernization of the irrigation, the Improvement Irrigation Programme of Egypt. The purpose of this project implemented by the Egyptian state and financed by the World Bank, is to rationalize the use of agricultural water. On the field in Egypt, ISIIMM project has implemented a team who's responsibility among others is to facilitate the process of modernization of certain irrigation canals, like El Resqa canal.
The aim of this study is to understand the mechanism of rationalization carried out within the framework of this project while being interested in particular in its consequences on the hydraulic system and its consequences on peasant society. In a concrete way, the objective is also to make an inventory of the process of modernization with El Resqa for the members of ISIIMM team.
UNESCO - Civil society and Resolution of the Hydric Conflicts
Abstract
The hydric conflicts are expressed various manners, according to the context; in particular, according to the local and regional conditions of development, of the cultural characteristics and, of course, of the
hydrogeologic and ecological data. It is thus not easy to describe all the mechanisms. This document tries to gather and classify the various methods which the authors could meet in their personal experience or by bibliographic research.
This report is a contribution of the "international hydrological Program" of UNESCO to the "world Program for the evaluation of the water resources". It was conceived within the framework of a joint project between UNESCO and "the International Green Cross" named "From potential conflict to co-operation potential(PCCP): Water for peace "and realized thanks to the generous financial contribution of the Japanese government.

The Middle East Water Question Hydropolitics and the Global Economy
Abstract
Is there enough water on this planet for a global population that will shortly double its present size? The answer is of great importance for people everywhere, but particularly to the peoples and political leaders of the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to explaining the particular issues of conflict in the region, Tony Allan argues that the answer to these problems lies at the global rather than local level.
Can one consider that the people will have the wisdom to establish reasonable division of a limited resource ? Can this water, which is unaware of the borders established by men, ultimately constitute a link between people instead of separating them?

Contemporary history of egyptian agriculture
Abstract
The historical approach of agriculture as a system can introduce some difficulties. It can artificially create a discontinuity between two agrarian systems, in a system involving regular transformation of production means. But sometimes we must use a systemic approach as if using a video-camera to film a sequence. How can we report contemporary agricultural history without a reference point at a micro-regional and national scale and without a caracterisation of agrarian transformation and of agrarian systems ? The goal of this research does not stop at gaining local understanding of agriculture transformations. It is very important to have a series of comparative studies which use comparable investigation methodologies ...

Stories of a shared water - Provence Alps Pyrenees
Abstract
Water is not appropriated, it is shared ! Behind this caricatural and provocative postulate, the authors peel the various facets of the anthropological question of the access to water and its division. The historical mechanisms of construction of the right, the problem of the institutions of management, of the choice of the methods of division,
the specific perception of the element "water", are as many questions tackled in connection with the agricultural use of water in the regions of Provence, alpine and Pyrenean

How Design, Management and Policy Affect the Performance of Irrigation Projects - Emerging Modernization Procedures and Design Standards
Abstract
The document is a contribution to an emerging understanding that physical and institutional reforms of the irrigation sector should be combined, and that irrigation management transfer is not about transferring operation functions only but also governance to the irrigation users and a combination of the two at different levels.
In making its case, the document reviews the decades-old debate over the causes of inefficiency in irrigation projects, the role of multilateral lenders such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank as well as country experiences from China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, North Africa, Pakistan, Sudan and the United States of America.
