Türkiye Sulama Yönetimi Politikaları ve Sulama Birlikleri

Öz

Kalkınmakta olan ülkelerde 1990’lı yıllardan buyana sulamada idari, mali ve teknik açıdan verimlilik ve hakkaniyet sağlamak amacıyla geniş sulama alanlarından sorumlu olan çok sayıda su kullanıcı örgütleri (Sulama Birliği) kurulmuştur. Sulama sistemlerinin yönetiminin 1990’lı yılların başında hızlı bir biçimde Sulama Birliklerine devir edilmesiyle, Türkiye sulama suyu yönetimi konusunda önemli deneyimler geçirmiştir. Türkiye’nin bu alandaki deneyimleri, sulama yönetiminde reformların verimlilik ve hakkaniyet açısından başarılı olabilmesi için sulamadaki tüm paydaşlar arasında katılımcılık ve oydaşmanın sağlanmasının önemini ortaya koymuştur.

Irrigation Management Policies and Irrigation Associations in Türkiye

Abstract

Since the early 1990s numerous water user associations (Irrigation Associations) have been established in the developing countries with an objective to reach administrative, financial and technical efficiency as well as equity in irrigation management. Türkiye has had important experiences with the accelerated transfer of management of irrigation systems to Irrigation Associations starting by early 1990s. Türkiye’s experience in this realm demonstrates that irrigation management reforms could become successful when participation and consensus is built among major stakeholders.
