In this book, Leslie Small and Ian Carruthers examine in detail the
potentials and limitations of user fees for financing irrigation
operation and maintenance. Both authors have extensive field
experience in irrigation in developing countries and have combined
this experience with simple concepts of economics to examine
possible institutional and financial reforms which would not simply
ask farmers to pay for an inadequate irrigation service, but would
create the potential for significant improvements in the quality of
the service provided. The proposed elements of any such reform are
discussed in depth - a system of user fees covering the recurrent
costs of irrigation; a financially autonomous irrigation agency
that can retain and use the fees to operate and maintain the
irrigation facilities; and a macro policy environment that is not
unduly skewed against the agricultural sector. Written in a style
intended to convey economic perspectives and insights to
non-economists, this book will be essential reading for all those
concerned with the financing and performance of irrigation in
developing countries.
