CONSTRUCTION OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

1. Types of systems
2. Types of scheme of development
3. Status of irrigation development

TYPES OF SYSTEMS

There are three categories of irrigation systems: national, communal, and private. National irrigation systems (NIS) are
large and medium schemes. These are basically operated and maintained by NIA where beneficiaries are charged irrigation
service fee for the services rendered in the delivery of water. In the 1980s, joint management of portions of national systems
with irrigators associations (IA) was effected.

Communal irrigation systems (CIS) are small-scale schemes and constructed with the participation of farmer-beneficiaries thru
their IAs. The operation and maintenance (O&M) of CIS is turned over to IAs upon project completion subject to a cost
recovery arrangement. Farmers amortize the chargeable cost for a period not exceeding 50 years at 0 percent interest. The
repayment scheme is pre-arranged and acceptable to both NIA and the IA.

Private irrigation systems are those constructed, operated and maintained by private individuals or groups with or without
technical assistance by NIA or other government agencies.

TYPES OF SCHEME OF DEVELOPMENT

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
The three schemes of development of irrigation systems are run-of-the river diversion, storage or reservoir, and pump
irrigation. Diversion projects entail the drawing of water under controlled conditions directly from the flow of rivers or streams.
Storage or reservoir projects involve the construction of storage dams to impound water and released as needed to be drawn
from a diversion dam downstream. Reservoir projects are usually multi-purpose to include other functions like power
generation, flood control, fishery and recreation. In pump projects, water is lifted from underground or from rivers and streams.
Pump systems are also common in some storage or diversion schemes to lift water to irrigate areas on higher elevation or
pump groundwater to supplement available supply from the river. Environmental protection and conservation is a key
consideration in the design of various schemes.

STATUS OF IRRIGATION DEVELOPMENT

The Philippines has about 10.3 million ha agricultural lands. Out of this, around 3.1 million ha are considered irrigable, with up
to 3 percent slope, and primarily devoted to rice and corn. A study by the World Bank, however, identified more than 6.1 M ha
as irrigable, including areas that are relatively more difficult to irrigate and up to 8 percent slope.

As of December 2015, about 1.731 million ha or 57.33 percent of the 3.1 million ha have been developed for irrigation. Of the
total area under irrigation, about 754,665 ha are under NIS; 615,797 ha under CIS that are farmer-managed; and 187,766 ha
under privately owned systems that are constructed through private initiatives.
