It aims to enhance water use efficiency, equity, and system sustainability. By engaging farmers in planning, operation, and maintenance, PIM ensures better water allocation, reduces wastage, and boosts agricultural productivity. This approach fosters responsibility among users, leading to improved livelihoods and a sustainable, equitable irrigation system that benefits both farmers and the environment.
