(Location: IWMI-India Call no: 333.91 G000 POS Record No: H0862)
This paper delves into institutional barriers of water supply such as pricing policies, laws, and agencies, as well as traditional planning and engineering practices. Water conservation challenges and opportunities for irrigation, cropping, industrial and urban cases are detailed. It concludes with a sensible discussion on "balancing the water equation," wherein the case is made for coupling our technological knowledge and experience with adjustment in policies, laws, and institutions to foster rather than discourage efficiency in water use. One of the distinctive features of the book is its organized review of 104 references selected from some of the best literature on the subject. In just a few pages, the author offers a global perspective, synopsis of key literature, prodigious number of examples and facts, and straightforward reading.

The supply and use of irrigation water for agricultural production is bound to incur problems where supply to and use in varying economic units coincides with water scarcity. In the light of so many unsuccessful irrigation schemes the transfer of returns to irrigation is of special importance. The main objectives of collecting water charges in irrigation schemes can be described as to cover the costs, and to increase and bring under control agricultural production.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.8 G635 VEE Record No: H0897)
This paper examines groundwater problems which are emerging in northern India as a consequence of the green revolution. These problems are intrinsically related to the nature of the existing system of groundwater rights and the lack of other groundwater institutions. The economic performance of groundwater rights is analyzed and policy suggestions for the revision of groundwater rights and the promulgation of groundwater regulations are made. In particular, the correlative rights doctrine (a common property-related institution) may be useful in the solution of emerging groundwater problems in northern India.

(Location: IWMI-India Call no: 631.7 G000 NOB Record No: H0998)
Explores the proposition that irrigation development is the result of activities by both the state and the locality (various forms of local organizations) and that improving irrigation development outcomes is dependent on discovering and using better means for joining state and locality actions. Includes discussions on irrigation investment, property and property relations; property-explicit systems; the property factor in state investment and local actions; and policy implications of the property factor.

(Location: IWMI-India Call no: 631.7 G000 NOB Record No: H0997)
Discusses the institutional arena (policies and laws, organizations, and the system of implementation through planning and management) and alternative legal interventions that exist or might be employed in the area of irrigation water management. Identifies the four major legal systems (families) and relates them to water law systems in individual countries. Discusses water policies, water law and systems of organization. The final section deals with institutional problems, concerns and recommendations including water allocation; planning, development and management; cost recovery; water users' organizations; and dispute resolutions.
12 Young, R. A. 1985. Market versus nonmarket management of irrigation water: A review of the issues. 25p.
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1051 Record No: H01001)
This paper sets out some concepts and evidence relevant to the choice of market versus nonmarket institutions for managing irrigation water. Attributes of water and water resource systems of interest from economic, political and social perspectives are identified. Virtues and vices of market and nonmarket resource allocation systems are outlined. Incremental changes in both market and nonmarket institutions which have promise for improving system effectiveness are suggested.
