14 important questions on Bureaucratic reform and why WUAs?
Why do we need bureaucratic reform in WUAs?
What types of reform have been tried?

First wave was not very successful in addressing the problems, as it was focussed too much on the engineering principles.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are internatinal trends in irrigation water management?
- Upwards along the hydraulic ladder (upscaling, e.g. The main canal or Internationally)
- Outwards across disciplines (now: next to engineering, political, social science, etc).
What are the antecedents to these international trends in irrigation?
- Colonial agriculture in the 19th century (irrigation schools, study tours by engineers, etc)
- After WOII: American based internationalisation
What were the two reactions two desillusionment in 1970s, due to disfunctioning of irrigation systems?
2. More attention for institutional/organisational aspect (train farmer to use tech in proper way)
Why did states play central role in irrigation from WW2-1980s?
- Time of decolonalization.
- Control people: settle them before you can tax them.
- Socialist regimes
- Private sector in the South lacked capital and private sector --> state
- Economies in scale: only state has the money for these large scale irrigation projects
- Large infrastructure works to build Nations
- See other reasons on the slide
What is the hydraulic mission based on the definition of Theodore Roosevelt? (1900-1980)
By whom were WUAs created and what objectives did they serve? Which of these has priority?
See slide
Have WUAs improved irrigation system performance?
What contribution have WUAs made to facilitate system turnover and enhance political participation?
Are there other participatory approaches that donors might support if WUA approach is irreparably flawed
What are the differences between management and governance, if any? When did this shift take place? What was the result for WUAs?
During 1990s: governance as something different than management
Governance = about making the rules, being in control of the water system
Management = about doing the service provision (more about implementation of rules/decisions)
Old WUA: users invited to participate in management, but NOT in governance. Users are performing all tasks themselves
New WUA (Ostrom): users involved in governance from the start, can choose to outsource management functions.
What is another major paradigm shift in the 1990s?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
