N2  - Large-scale farmer-managed irrigation systems have been functioning in Japan since the 17th century and are managed by stratified water user associations with village-level water user groups at the terminal-canal level, intermediate water user associations representing a number of village-level groups at the main-canal level and an association responsible for overall management and conflict resolution for the entire system.
