Abstract
The methods used to collect irrigation statistics in India give rise to very large margins of error. The unreliability of the data throws into question the utility of careful economic analyses of irrigation projects. More importantly, it means that in the case of large surface-flow schemes canal officials cannot manage the system in the absence of reliable information about the system's output; they can only administer the inputs. This is an important constraint on better performance. To improve the information system attention has to be given not only to the hardware but also to the incentives which bear on those who collect the statistics.
