| Abstract | ||
| The performance framework of irrigation systems needs a clear definition for boundaries of tlieir assessment. These boundaries include the fimctions which are performed by the irrigation system, and the processes involved in creating and sustaining the irrigation system during its lifetime. The geographical area corresponding to the physical or social elements of the irrigation system is the third item of these boundaries which must be defined. This work introduces a procedure of assessing the performance for irrigation systems. Case study was conducted to clarify the procedure which depended on field data. The tail-end farmers are found to be aware, from pervious seasons, that performance reliability and adequacy are poor, thus they decided to reduce their irrigated area. A care must be talcen to choose between the performance indicators because one indicator along is often not sufficient to describe the performance | ||
