Irrigation water management has significant economic implications in developing countries like Malaysia. While the structural infrastructure has been created with a huge financial investment in these countries, it is vital that appropriate non-structural measures are to be adopted for efficient water management. Scientific policies of operation of irrigation systems need to be developed with the aid of mathematical tools and implemented in practice. In this new technological and information age, water is becoming a source of conflict between domestic, industrial and agricultural use. The concept of Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) has been recognized all over the world as a tool for improving irrigation management along with sustainability of the system. Irrigation systems need to be restructured to make water management efficient. A 3-tier architecture framework was carefully studied and implemented to create the WebPIM model. WebPIM lays a platform for allowing public participation in disputes and resolving decisionmaking processes in conflicting situations, especially in cases, involving many stakeholders. WebPIM is an internet-based model that is created to benefit the users in the water management sectors in order to support decision makers on the issues concerned to irrigation water management. In developing countries the institutional mechanisms of filling the digital gap between the urban and rural communities are poor. By strengthening the involvement of government departments and private agencies, the database can be very effectively used by all stakeholders at the same time narrowing the digital gap between the urban and rural communities in the development of country.
