At the Executive Council in 1994, the I. C. I. D. underwent a major structural innovation, in which the organizational structure was largely simplified . The number of working groups was much reduced and the remained working groups were classified into only four groups; policy , system, on-farm and technology dissemination. This innovation also sharpened the focus on several topics including the environment. This innovation was made possible by the strenuous effort of the staffs of the I. C. I.

It has three roles: to establish relationships between all the rights and interests that have existed in the pre-project sites and the newly replotted sites, to consolidate fragmented holdings and improve agricultural structure, and to supply land for new construction. The Agricultural Land Improvement Act (ALIA) provides concrete means to carry out these functions through replotting in .Japan. The objective of this paper is to give an outline of replotting under the ALIA. Rural areas in Japan at present have many functions, and the land demand for non-agricultural uses has also increased in these areas. After revision of the ALIA in 1972, replotting became a powerful method for achieving ordered land use in rural areas.","PeriodicalId":137099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of irrigation engineering and rural planning","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132115388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes the mechanism and procedure of Kazusa-bori, gives the results of a questionnaire given to participants at the end of their training period, and estimates the cost of Kazusa-Bori n several developing countries Kazusa-Bori requires the use of indigenous materials, such as bamboo trees, log poles, iron pipes, ropes, etc., which are readily available and obtainable in most developing countries. In addition, manpower is used as the power source. This method, therefore, has been suggested for developing water resources for both irrigation and human consumption in various countries.

The Mekong ranks as the world's sixth largest river with a total length of 4,500 km, total catchment area of 760,000 km2 and average yearly flow of 14,150 m3/sec. The four countries of the lower Mekong basin (Laos, Thailand, Kampuchea and Viet Nam), which cover 75 percent of the total Mekong basin and command 80 percent of the total Mekong flow, formed the Committee for Coordination of Investigations of the Lower Mekong Basin in 1957. The Committee has been re-organized since 1978 and is still awaiting the participation from Kampuchea ; thus it is called now the \"Interim Mekong Committee.\" The idea of developing the water resources of the Mekong basin was expressed in the early 1950s by the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE, now ESCAP) . The literature since then on various aspects of the Mekong basin is so vast; in 1969 the United Nations' \"Selected bibliography, lower Mekong basin\" contained more than 4,000 references, but today it would amount to double that number. It is therefore impossible to undertake a comprehensive review of the descriptive material. The primary purpose of this paper is to : 1) Outline briefly the features of hydrology, navigation, locations of planned projects on the mainstream and its tributaries (section II), and the broad trends of agricultural development in the Mekong basin (section III) ; 2) Show the chronology of planning procedures in the Mekong basin, selecting main events and reports on several approaches (section IV) ; 3) Review the achievement of the Mekong Committee based on the Indicative Basin Plan (a master plan for basin development issued in 1970) in order to suggest a dynamic strategy of future development (section V) .","PeriodicalId":137099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of irrigation engineering and rural planning","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121992200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
