    The present study was conducted in Krishna Command Area at Vijayapura, Kalaburagi and Yadgiri districts of Karnataka during 2017-18. Data were collected from a sample of hundred head reach and hundred tail-end farmers of D-6 and D-11 distributories. The results revealed that, majority of the head reach farmers had moderate (41.00 %) followed by poor (35.00 %) and better (24.00 %) level of participation in effective canal irrigation management. In tail-end location, 45.00 per cent of farmers had moderate followed by better (32.00 %) and poor (23.00 %) level of participation. Regarding performance of Water Users Cooperative Societies, eight WUCS were selected randomly, in that four WUCS belonged moderate (50.00 %) followed by two had better (25.00 %) and two had poor (25.00 %) performance level. Coping mechanisms adopted by the head reach farmers that have adopted frequent cleaning of field channels and strictly following warabandi schedule. In tail-end farmers, cultivation of droughttolerant crops and cultivating less water consuming crops. Constraints expressed by the head reach farmers were inadequate training programmes conducted by WUCS and lack of knowledge on integrated crop management. Whereas, lack of support from irrigation department and obstruction to water flow from upper reach farmers were the constraints expressed by the tail-end farmers. Suggestions expressed by the head reach farmers were conduct adequate training programmes on water management and provide information on integrated crop management practices. Whereas, suggestions expressed by the tail-end farmers were proper support from irrigation department and coordination among the farmers to share water.
