Study On Farmers’ Participation In Small-scale Irrigation Works Management And Protection

Small-scale farmland water conservancy is short for small-scale farmland water.Since the founding of New China,small-scale agricultural and water projects have been constructed in full swing throughout the country,effectively breaking the limitations of the natural environment,smoothly and orderly food production in China,and making important contributions to social stability and sustained growth of the national economy.Small-scale agricultural and water projects are the basic projects to ensure food security,rural stability and national economic development.In recent years,the construction of small-scale agricultural and water projects in Feicheng City has achieved remarkable and gratifying results.Due to the limitations of geographical and environmental factors,such as the obvious differences in the distribution of water resources,the need to improve the construction efficiency of small-scale agricultural and water projects,the inadequate infrastructure of small-scale agricultural and water projects to meet the expectations of farmers,and the lagging management of water resources,all of these have resulted in various problems.The phenomenon of waste of water exists in different degrees,which makes the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources in Feicheng City prominent,the frequent occurrence of drought and flood disasters,and the fragile ecological environment situation has not been fundamentally changed.In many areas of our country,there is a phenomenon of attaching importance to the construction and neglecting the management of small-scale agricultural and water projects,which directly leads to the weakness and deficiency of the management and maintenance of a large number of small-scale agricultural and water projects,limits the full play of the utility of small-scale agricultural and water projects,causes the great loss and waste of state-owned assets,and to a certain extent inhibits the current situation in our country.The development of substitute agriculture.At present,we should not only continue to promote the construction of small-scale farmland water conservancy projects in China,but also work hard on scientific management and maintenance.Focusing on the theme of "factors affecting farmers’ participation in water management of small-scale farmers",this paper defines the concepts of small-scale farmland water conservancy and farmers’ participation in water management and protection of small-scale farmland,and makes a thorough analysis of relevant theories such as public goods theory,behavioral economics theory and planned behavior theory.By using the methods of literature research,investigation,descriptive research and other theoretical research methods,using the way of sending out questionnaires to collect effective data,select villages under the jurisdiction of Feicheng City to carry out field research,through theoretical research,field research and data analysis.Not only in the geographical factors,such as the irrigation district of the village where the head of the household belongs,the distance between the village committee and the county government,but also in the personal factors,such as the education level of the head of the household,the degree of accepting new things,etc.and in the family factors,such as the family size of the head of the household,social relations and other objective factors,the investigation,analysis and statistics are also made.Consider the subjective reasons that affect the participation of household heads and their children in the management and protection of small-scale rural water projects.After carefully sorting out,classifying and summarizing the data,after careful consideration and analysis,various factors affecting farmers’ participation in small-scale water and water conservation with the characteristics of this paper are summarized,such as the degree of farming of farmers’ occupation,the acceptance of new things,the proportion of household agricultural income in the total household income,and the benefit from irrigation.The proportion of cultivated land in cultivated area,the degree of trust in other acquaintances,the government’s investment in water for small farmers,farmers’ satisfaction with the operation of water use associations,whether farmers have enough labor force,and whether farmers have the technology and experience of water pipe protection for small farmers,etc.are also considered and discussed in this paper.On the basis of the summary,the countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to encourage farmers to take an active part in the management and protection of small-scale agriculture and water works.
