(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.

Presents an overview of concepts related to irrigation system management which the author has reached as a result of extensive interdisciplinary field study and consulting activities throughout the world. The paper is broken down into brief discussions on topics which reflect on the management and/or manageability of irrigated systems. These topics include: development objectives; the structure of irrigation systems; water and social tension; evolution of irrigation systems; control and management levels; and water pricing policy and law.

The reservoir-supplied Upper Pampanga River Project in Central Luzon, Philippines, was completed in 1975. It has a command area of about 83,000 ha. A preliminary study showed the project to be economically viable, but the 1974-75 surplus income from rice production was found inadequate to fully cover farm production costs, family expenses, and current irrigation fees.

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.
