ABSTRACT
An analysis of the applicability of the integrated procedures and the relevance of the findings and insights obtained through them will pave the way for its evaluation as a plan of actions for developing a national irrigation systems modernisation plan. This chapter summarizes the key findings and conclusions for the objectives of the study. It discusses some recommendations to address the key challenges as well as directions for further development of the strategy. The knowledge gained on the case study systems through this endeavor provides a sound basis for the design of appropriate modernisation solutions for the systems and other systems under similar conditions. Fundamental to the strength of the modernization strategy is the strong emphasis on the coherent link among the system physical structure, operation and water supply during the examination of the state of irrigation systems and during the formulation of modernisation solutions.
