IRRIGATION
Upgrading Irrigation System for Brgy. Babo Pangulo,
Porac, Pampanga
(Group of Porac)

Introduction:
Irrigation systems have been under pressure to produce
more with lower supplies of water. Various innovative practices
can gain an economic advantage while also reducing
environmental burdens such as water abstraction, energy use,
pollutants, etc. Farmers can better use technological systems
already installed, adopt extra technologies, enhance their skills in
soil and water management, tailor cropping patterns to lower
water demand and usage, reduce agrochemical inputs, etc.
Water-efficient practices potentially enhance the economic
viability and environmental sustainability of irrigated agriculture,
without necessarily reducing water usage.

Objective:
The overall objectives of this study are to:
increase agricultural production and farmers income by
improving the irrigation infrastructure, facilitating a more
equitable distribution of water, and improved on-farm water
management
improve the long-term sustainability, through takeover of
responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the
tertiary level irrigation system by the farmers and their
sharing in the costs for the tertiary level investments
