Abstract
The continuous development of the irrigation facilities and structures of National Irrigation Administration (NIA) is fundamental to cope-up with the fast changing and modernized field of Agriculture, thus there is a need to study the current level of irrigation development. The study aimed to assess the current status of irrigation facilities within NIA-UPRIIS Division I service area. It assessed how lined and unlined irrigation canals affect the water delivery and distribution, and how the current level of development of irrigation facilities affected the farmers in terms of irrigated and planted area, average yield and duration of farming activities. Based on the result of this research, it was found out that the current state of irrigation development of NIA-UPRIIS Division I is relatively low in terms of the status of line and unlined canals; and this greatly affects the irrigation water delivery. It is also noted that the longer the length of lined canals, the higher the irrigated area would be. Thus, the average crop yield would also be higher. And since irrigation water delivery is more efficient in lined canals, the farming activities would be done earlier specially for the tail-end portion of the service area. In addition, there will decrease be a decrease in the water duty of the system, thereby saving irrigation water so that even the tail-end portion of the service area would be irrigated.
