The paper presents the results of a study to investigate ways to improve the effectiveness of functioning irrigation systems by examining the role of: (a) direct and indirect charges in meeting recurrent costs; and (b) increased farmer participation in system management. Five issues dealing with the pricing and management of irrigation water are examined with conclusions and recommendations included for each. The main conclusion from the study is that the resources for maintaining irrigation inputs must come from the direct beneficiaries.

The underlying issue of the study is whether irrigation charges should be increased in the 274,000-ha. river diversion Pekalen Sampean Irrigation Project in East Java, Indonesia. The study shows that even though Indonesia has no nominal water tax, farmers are already paying more for irrigation water than what is being spent on operations and maintenance in the project. While farmers receive economic benefit from irrigation, farm sizes are so small that annual agricultural incomes in irrigated areas are only about $20 per capita. These findings, plus the fact that government, agro-industries, and the food-consuming public also benefit substantially from irrigation, suggest caution in approaching the possibility of increasing the water charges payable by farmers.

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.
