This paper is based on the outcomes of a training workshop on modernization of irrigation management organized in 2007 for 40 participants with a focus on the Hemavathi project. The study has several purposes: a) produce food for thought for decision-makers in Karnataka before engaging in investment plans, particularly on how to ensure that diagnosis and solutions are investigated properly in modernization projects; b) suggest some specific strategies to managers of the Hemavathi system and CNNL on how they should conceptualise the modernization of irrigation management; c) introduce the MASSCOTE and RAP exercises to a large audience through real-case application.
