Using the data of 883 households in 6 provinces of the Yellow River irrigation area,the paper empirically tested the effects of institutional capacity and cooperation level on farmland irrigation system supplied by farmers and its action path. The empirical results show that the three levels of institutional capacity factors of knowledge resources,relational resources and mobilization capacity in the field of village space have a significant positive impact on the willingness and degree of farmers to participate in the supply of irrigation systems.
