USER PREFERENCES FOR IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT MODELS IN HARRAN

Öz

State-wide decentralization of irrigation began in Türkiye in 1994 with the establishment of water user associations (WUA) in Harran as pilot projects. Besides cutting down costs, democratic, local, participatory irrigation management by users was embraced in the Master Plan of the South Eastern Anatolia Project as a vehicle for ameliorating severe income disparities among farmers by modernizing the clan (aşiret) based, hierarchical, traditional production relations dominating the region. However, in response to elite capture, mounting corruption and budget deficits, Law # 7139 legislated in 2018 returned WUA administration to the State Hydraulic Works (SHW). In the meanwhile, total privatization of irrigation management has emerged as a theme in the literature and a possibility for the future. Therefore, this paper presents Harran farmers’ preferences between state, user and private sector managed irrigation models. The first survey was held in 2013, after implementation of the Water User Associations Law #6172, introduced to remedy administrative problems. The latter survey was conducted in 2019, following the return of WUAs’ administrative duties to the SHW. In both surveys, farmers have displayed strong preference for state managed irrigation while the skewed power relations among users have been indicative of the underlying reason.
