| Abstract | Irrigation performance indicators, which comprise engineering and economic indicators,
allow an assessment on performance of irrigation systems. Indicators can be use to
compare the system to other systems. Within the system, they can compared from year to
year to indicate relative performance or trend.
Dozens of irrigation performance indicators have been proposed over the years. But they
still receive relatively little use, and that use is mostly by researchers rather than
managers. According to Nelson (2002), each irrigation community needs to select a
group of key indicators, that are applied often enough to establish and appropriate range
of values interpretation.
IWMI provided a guideline with a set of 25 indicators, which consist of 4 groups: service
delivery performance, productivity efficiency, financial and environmental performance.
This guideline is base to determine performance indicators for irrigation and drainage
systems in the world.
The Lien Son irrigation system located within the Red River Delta of Vietnam is chosen
as study area. Based on available data of the study area, performance indicators will be
determined, analysed and compared. Then some recommendations can be provided to
improve irrigation performance for the study area. |
