International Commission on Irrigation & Drainage Commission Interationale des Irrigation et du Drainage

WORKING GROUP ON VALUE ENGINEERING (WG-VE)

CLOSURE REPORT 2024

Large and medium scale irrigation systems worldwide account for about 60 percent of the irrigated areas but are the one that present the most severe gap between expected and actual performance. Efforts to improve the performance of these systems have been mixed because of a number of misconceptions of the problems. ICID has formed a Task Force on Application of Value Engineering in Irrigation and Drainage Projects (TF-VE) to promote the application of Value Methodology (Value Engineering, Value Analysis, Value Planning, Value Management and Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP)) in irrigation, drainage and flood management projects to increase benefits, reduce cost and ensure sustainable irrigated agriculture.
