Based on fieldwork in two communities in South India, this paper explores the strategies of the poor and the management of tank irrigation. It establishes the main concerns and priorities or the poor and describes why the poor regard well-managed tank irrigation as a significant asset. It also studies two sets of institutionalized practices in relation to tank management - the distribution of water, and action in times of water scarcity.
