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.

Irrigation efficiency (IE) and water-saving potential (WSP) are two fundamental parameters for assessing water use and management in irrigation systems. A new calculation method was proposed herein to accurately estimate the IE and WSP in irrigation systems. The proposed method considers the reuse of return flow. A modified Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to simulate hydrological processes under various water-saving scenarios for the Yangshudang (YSD) watershed within the Zhanghe Irrigation System (ZIS) in Hubei Province, China. The dry year of 2010 was chosen as a study case. Based on simulation results, the traditional irrigation efficiency (IE) and water-saving potential (WSP) as well as the irrigation efficiency taking into account the reuse of return flow (IE) and water-saving potential considering the reuse of return flow (WSP) were calculated for various scenarios. The relationships between the two IE indicators and the cause thereof, as well as the two WSP values, were analyzed and explored. The results showed that both IE and WSP were improved with the enhancement of water saving. As long as there was the reuse of return flow, must be greater than . Moreover, in terms of water-saving approaches that improved the reuse rate of return flow, was determined to be greater than , thereby suggesting that the traditional method underestimated the WSP. However, for water-saving approaches that reduced the reuse rate of return flow, was determined to be less than , which suggested that the traditional method overestimated the WSP. The relationship between and was attributed to the fact that was calculated by subtracting the amount of the water saved by the reuse of return flow on the basis of , and this difference can be either positive or negative. Therefore, the managers of irrigation systems should use as the actual IE but not , and use instead of to evaluate the actual WSP.

To improve the calculation applicability and operability of regional water-saving potential (RWSP) for paddy rice, a calculation method based on remote sensing (RWSP-RS) was proposed. RWSP-RS consists of three sections: (a) paddy rice mapping by the decision tree algorithm, (b) rice evapotranspiration (ET) inversion under different irrigation modes by the surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL), and (c) WSP based on ET (WSPE) and irrigation (WSPI) calculation by coupling water balance models for paddy fields. The RWSP-RS was applied in the Zhanghe Irrigation District in southern China in 2018 and 2019. The results showed that the three sections of RWSP-RS had high precision: paddy rice mapping errors ranged from 2% to 16%; WSPE of paddy rice errors were 26 mm and 5 mm for 2018 and 2019, respectively; and WSPI errors were 5 mm and 23 mm for 2018 and 2019, respectively. The WSPI of paddy rice in the whole region was 44.52 million m3 and 99.12 million m3 for 2018 and 2019, respectively. RWSP-RS has the characteristics of solid operability, good regional applicability, and time and labor savings, making it a recommended method for calculating the RWSP of paddy rice and contributing to regional water resource management.

Payments for Water-Related Ecosystem Services (PWES) are increasingly popular for promoting water ecological conservation, and their impact on development is of considerable interest. This study estimates the economic impact of PWES on protected areas using the synthetic control method. Taking the Middle Route of the South to North Water Diversion Project in China as a case study, we find that the per capita GDP in protected areas increased markedly relative to synthetic control regions, and PWES had a positive economic impact. Additionally, we conducted many placebo tests to verify the validity and robustness of the results. We believe that the main factor responsible for the positive effect lies in developing the ecological-economic industrial system. This study provides a baseline for synthetic control analysis of PWES to compare regions of interest with their counterfactuals. The case study findings provide reference for the economic development of protected areas.
