Abstract
- Irrigation serving many farms requires coordination by the state, collective action, or markets.
- Property rights provide incentives, authority, and resources for sustainable irrigation.
- Property rights over land, water, and infrastructure may come from many sources.
- Understanding property rights requires recognizing legal pluralism and bundles of rights.
- Changing irrigation institutions is possible, but is an organic, not mechanical, process.
