The study views unawareness of critical success factors in the smallholder irrigation sector as contributing to poor performance of smallholder irrigation projects. Consequently, the study investigated influence of farmer capacity building in institutional linkages on performance of smallholder irrigation projects in Migori County, Kenya. The study embraced a pragmatic view of philosophy, and used cross sectional and correlation research design. The target population was 2815, and comprised farmers drawn from fifteen smallholder irrigation projects that receive water from River Kuja through Lower Kuja Project. The sample size was 341. The study used systematic random sampling procedure to draw the sample, and collected data using questionnaire. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that farmer capacity building in institutional linkages has a significant influence on performance of smallholder irrigation projects (r = 0.803, R<sup>2</sup> = 0.645, F (5, 331) = 120.254 and p < 0.000 < 0.05). Thus, the study recommends that Migori County Government come up with policies that link smallholder irrigation projects in Lower Kuja Project to institutions that provide land ploughing services, certified seeds and fertilisers, control of crop pests and diseases, transportation of farm produce and marketing of farm produce.展开更多

However, there are still some problems in the management of farmland water conservancy project, such as imperfect system, unclear responsibility and inactive subject, which hinder the development of farmland water conservancy project to a certain extent. In the context of building a new countryside, the management of irrigation and water conservancy projects should implement and Xi Jining New Era Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, adhere to the concept of scientific development, focus on the overall situation, seek benefits from management, and promote the high-quality development of project management.展开更多

As an important part of social production and life, agriculture's dependence on water resources has become increasingly prominent. But in fact, China's total water resources reserve and its distribution are not optimistic. The lack or unreasonable use of water resources in some areas hinders the development of agriculture. In order to solve this problem and realize the balanced regulation of water resources, it is necessary to construct scientific irrigation and water conservancy projects. Through irrigation and water conservancy projects, the allocation and use of water resources can be further optimized to provide stable water resources guarantee for agricultural development. This article will be based on this issue. The development and application of irrigation and water conservancy projects in agriculture are analyzed in depth to provide reference for the development of agriculture in China.展开更多

Water saving irrigation technology can effectively alleviate the demand of agricultural water, and promote the sustainable development of agriculture. In the context of sustainable economic development, China has built a large number of water conservancy projects in order to achieve the purpose of flood control and promote agricultural development. The research and exploration of water-saving irrigation technology and the formulation of more scientific and reasonable water-saving irrigation strategy can lay a good foundation for the healthy, stable and sustainable development of agriculture. This paper discusses the application of water-saving irrigation technology in farmland water conservancy project.展开更多
