We study the rebuilding of irrigation infrastructure and associations in a postconflict setting, where conflict risks, corruption, and farmer uncertainty can undermine such efforts. To do so, we use satellite measures of crop greenness in the catchment areas around 80 canals and spatiotemporal variation in their rehabilitation. We find sizable gains due to the rebuilding efforts, equal to a 25% improvement in wheat yields. Gains are particularly …
