Abstract

Reforms in irrigation management can make important contributions to reducing irrigation water scarcity. This paper attempts to examine the role of participatory irrigation management (PIM) in farmers’ mulched drip irrigation technology adoption decisions. It is based on a comparative analysis between government-promoted mulched drip irrigation technology (GMDIT) and localized self-governed mulched drip irrigation technology (LMDIT) in rural Xinjiang, China. Data from a survey conducted in 2017 across 739 households covering 1763 plots in Awati County in Xinjiang were used to estimate a nested logit model. The results indicate that PIM induces farmers to switch from traditional flood irrigation technology to GMDIT but does not promote the adoption of LMDIT. We conclude that promoting PIM can make an important contribution to more sustainable water use in this drought-prone area but that the self-governance of localized irrigation systems requires more attention by local governments.

参与式灌溉管理对新疆农村地膜滴灌技术采用的影响

灌溉管理改革可以为减少灌溉用水短缺作出重要贡献。本文试图探讨参与式灌溉管理(PIM)在农户膜下滴灌技术采用决策中的作用。本研究基于对中国新疆农村政府推广的地膜滴灌技术(GMDIT)与本地化的自主地膜滴灌技术(LMDIT)的比较分析。2017年对新疆阿瓦提县1763块地块739户家庭的调查数据用于估算嵌套logit模型。结果表明，PIM诱导农民从传统的漫灌技术转向GMDIT，但没有促进LMDIT的采用。我们的结论是，在干旱易发地区推广PIM可以为更可持续的水资源利用做出重要贡献，但地方政府需要更多地关注地方灌溉系统的自治。

期刊介绍： Water Resources and Economics is one of a series of specialist titles launched by the highly-regarded Water Research. For the purpose of sustainable water resources management, understanding the multiple connections and feedback mechanisms between water resources and the economy is crucial. Water Resources and Economics addresses the financial and economic dimensions associated with water resources use and governance, across different economic sectors like agriculture, energy, industry, shipping, recreation and urban and rural water supply, at local, regional and transboundary scale. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to) the economics of: Aquatic ecosystem services- Blue economy- Climate change and flood risk management- Climate smart agriculture- Coastal management- Droughts and water scarcity- Environmental flows- Eutrophication- Food, water, energy nexus- Groundwater management- Hydropower generation- Hydrological risks and uncertainties- Marine resources- Nature-based solutions- Resource recovery- River restoration- Storm water harvesting- Transboundary water allocation- Urban water management- Wastewater treatment- Watershed management- Water health risks- Water pollution- Water quality management- Water security- Water stress- Water technology innovation.
