Water charges and irrigation efficiencies

- Summary

Abstract

Charging farmers for irrigation water is generally believed to lead to a more efficient water use. This paper contrasts measured irrigation efficiencies with characteristics of charges and irrigation systems. It discusses, for instance, the relation of field data with the generally endorsed presumption that water charges only influence irrigation efficiency if they are levied by volume.
