The present system of pricing of irrigation water in the gravity irrigation systems of the Philippines results in inefficient allocation and use of water. Furthermore, the low price of water results in the capitalization of irrigation benefits into land values. Hence, landowners are the major beneficiaries. Gradually increasing the price of water so that it is more in line with its opportunity cost under optimum management would improve the economic efficiency of water use and encourage the collection of government revenues for further public investment. As soon as practicable, water should be metered directly to farmers' paddy fields and the water charged based upon the amount actually diverted.

Using a surface irrigation hydraulics model, relationships were developed between water requirement efficiency and the system design variables. Acrop production function was utilized to relate crop yield to the water requirement efficiency. Gross returns from the crop, and the costs of water, labor, ditch construction and crop production were considered in the optimization problem. Several system constraints were incorporated into the design process. The generalized geometric programming technique was applied to the optimaldesign of border and basin irrigation systems. The design variables were: the length of the run, inflow rate into the border, time of inflow, number of lengths of run, width of the border, and the number of border widths in the field.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1412 Record No: H0879)
Previous studies of optimum water pricing and capacity expansion have ignored the political administrative factors which limit the range of feasible decisions. A general model is presented for identifying the water price horizon so as to maximize the present value of net benefits. Constraints on the range of water price, the rate of price change, and financial cost recovery are included in the model. The model is applied to a hypothetical case study of an urban water supply system. The results indicate that optimum water pricing and capacity expansion policies are likely to achieve some increase in economic benefits when compared with average cost pricing. Administrative and political constraints tend to reduce these benefits but result in more acceptable pricing policies.

A general model for constrained optimum water pricing and capacity expansion is applied to the twin cities of Kitchener-Waterloo (KW), Ontario. The model identifies the water price and water supply capacity, which maximizes the present value of net economic benefits over a planning horizon. Constraints on the rate of price change and financial cost recovery are included. Results for KW indicate that significant economic benefits can be achieved by jointly optimizing decisions about water pricing and capacity expansion. It is also shown that optimum policies are compatible with the goal of financial cost recovery on the part of the supply authority. The benefits of optimum pricing and capacity expansion are likely to be greatest in water supply systems which exhibit economics of scale or in the cities where the rate of population growth is small.
