Anthropological fieldwork conducted during 1981 reveals some effects of irrigation on women in a northwest Indian village. The arrival of irrigation in 1954 marked the beginning of significant changes in the life of the villagers. Its benefits, however, have not been felt equally by women of different castes. Irrigation has increased household income, provided new employment opportunities, improved domestic water supply, and allowed women to maintain more productive livestock. This paper describes the different affects of these changes on upper and lower caste women both in a) on-farm agricultural labor; and b) domestic activities within the household.

This paper attempts to understand gender issues in micro-irrigation technology by exploring the dynamics of gender, water and rural livelihoods. Based on an empirical study in the rural areas ofWest Nepal undertaken in 2003, the paper assesses the socioeconomic impact of drip-irrigation systems on men and womens lives. A combination of participatory research tools, participant observationand secondary sources were used to generate data. The study revealed that women extensively contributed to vegetable farming under the drip-irrigation systems. The total time (mean hours) spent by women in vegetable production is significantly higher than those spent by their male counterparts. The benefit cost analysis of vegetable farming has shown overall viability in terms of net present value, benefit cost ratio, internal rate of return and payback period. Based on the study findings, thepaper suggests that similar technological interventions could be considered in places of similar socioeconomic and biophysical characteristics to help empower rural women. Finally, the paper raisessome significant questions in relation to rural livelihoods and womens entitlements.
