The study explores the technical and socioeconomic constraints in
irrigation management for diversified cropping. Based on Sri Lanka,
with more than fifteen years’ experience of dry-season irrigation for
diversified cropping, there remains a lack of clear understanding of
both constraints and opportunities which are considered necessary
for formulating future strategies and policies, and also an inadequate
knowledge of proper management of irrigation systems for dryseason
cropping with other food crops. The research results provide
the essential first step towards identifying future management intervention
approaches and proposed directions in which they could be
tested and adopted.
