There are numerous ponds in Southern China and it is very difficult to evaluate their contribution to local water users because of their small size and wide variance. This paper presents two methods for estimating pond storage capacity using RS/GIS. One is to estimate pond storage capacity as a function of the topographic factors. An indicator, PV, pond storage capacity per unit rice area of 86 villages, is calculated, and then the correlation between PV, slope, altitude and drainage density is calculated to estimate the pond storage capacity of whole study area. The other method is to extrapolate estimated results from a high resolution image of small scale to a low resolution image of large scale area. With field information and IKONOS image (1 m), the pond storage of a small scale area is estimated using a pond surface area–volume function, and then the value is extrapolated to large scale area with reference to a LandSat ETM image (14.25 m). The two methods are applied to Zhanghe irrigation district, and the application results show that the results are acceptable.

This article examines the effect of water pricing policies on farmers’ water saving behaviors, using original water user group (WUG) data from a reservoir irrigation system in China. The introduction of volumetric water pricing at the group level, to replace area-based pricing, induces institutional change to prevent each member’s overuse of water when the volumetric price levels are moderate. Depending on the initial conditions, the multiple pathways of change lead to new institutional arrangements, with all of them contributing to water savings. However, when the price is set high enough, many farmers exit a WUG for private irrigation. This tendency is associated with an increased probability that the remaining members do not undertake institutional
change and that they do not end up saving water. This may be due to the increased management difficulties among the remaining members whose fields are separated by former members who have now opted out for private irrigation across the WUG. As a result, we do not find evidence that the reservoir water is saved at high volumetric price levels.

This may be due to the increased management difficulties among the remaining members whose fields are separated by former members who have now opted out for private irrigation across the WUG. As a result, we do not find evidence that the reservoir water is saved at high volumetric price levels.
