•	Appropriate incentive should be provide for maintenance and irrigation networks
•	The ground should be prepared for rational water consumption and enhancement of irrigation efficiencies

Management of agricultural eater use

Based on the experimental indices and our own experience, we believe that the operation and management of supply, conveyance, distribution and management of irrigation networks have a tight relation with thus directly  using water. so thatthere should be a strong management relation between water users and their relevant association running the whole system.
