Yet, insufficient farm returns and social factors corresponding to water distribution problems are transpired. The objective of this study was to assess the level of user's satisfaction with irrigation services provided by the scheme in terms of adequacy of water supply, dependability, equity of water distribution, timelines of water delivery, user’s contribution in operation and maintenance activities; operation and maintenance requirements of the system. It was analyzed using Binary Logit model. The study was conducted in the irrigation season from September to December, 2014.
