Pricing Irrigation Water

de Yacov Tsur, Terry L. Roe, Mohammed Rachid Doukkali, Ariel Dinar

"In Pricing Irrigation Water, the authors present a new framework - based on farm-level analyses of derived demand for irrigation water and on economywide analyses of the interaction between pricing and macroeconomic policies - for assessing water pricing policies. The framework offers examples of how to examine and compare different pricing mechanisms, under various conditions, for pricing irrigation water, which in turn will provides policymakers and water managers with the necessary means to assess the way water is utilized."--Jacket.
