Infrastructure is needed to divert, store, provide/supply and distribute water. Depending on the origin of the irrigation water, the amount withdrawn, the distance of conveyance, and the topography, different structures and sizes are needed.

Infrastructure needs continuous and decent [[Operation_and_maintenance|operation and maintenance]] (O & M). This can be delivered by governmental/public organisations or by private groups/organisations. The latter are in most cases organisations of [[Water_user_associations|water users]] or irrigating farmers.
