Estimates of net private and social benefits to irrigation water supply are shown for a case study area in the northern Nile delta region of Egypt. Net benefits are defined as gross revenues minus costs of production, including an imputed charge for family labor. Linear programming models of representative farms in the study area are formulated with particular reference to the possibilities of using less water per crop or shifting crops in response to changes in water supply. Model solutions are based both on government prices (with production controls) and hypothetical international market prices (with relaxed controls). Five different water supply scenarios are analyzed from current adequate levels of supply down to 40 percent reduction from that level. Total, average, and marginal net benefit functions are reported. Implications of the differences between the social and private benefit functions are discussed.

This paper assesses how alternative methods of charging for irrigation water in Egypt impact on allocative efficiency. A range of pricing schemes including a flat land tax, a crop charge, and volumetric charges were tested using a linear programming model. The different pricing systems were compared under varying levels of water scarcity. Both the efficiency and economic impacts were compared and the transaction costs considered.
