Irrigation is the dominant consumer of fresh water world-wide,
accounting for as much as 80% of use in many water-short countries.
Two issues dominate the problems in water resources management
generally, and especially the management of irrigation systems:
shortage of water to meet competing demands, and schortage of funds
to finance operation, maintenance and renewal of existing
facilities. Various international conferences, donor policies and
academic papers have pointed to the contribution that appropriate
irrigation service charging systems can make to both problems. This
book is unique in that it connects policy objectives in water
pricing with the practicalities of a setting up an irrigation water
charging system. It discusses the different types of water charging
systems as well as the basis for quantifying and calculating the
charges in the real world. Based on practical experiences in a
range of countries, it also looks at possibilities for cost
rationalizations and developing a broad range of revenue
streams.The book concludes with a systematic explanation on how to
design an irrigation water charging system - looking at assessment,
billing and improving collection performance. The book is uniqu in
that it does not cover the theory of cost recovery but the
practicalities of it.
