User charges in irrigation: Potentials and limitations
Abstract Interest in systems of user charges for irrigation projects serving large numbers of small farmers has grown in recent years in response to concerns about-the need to provide more adequate funding of O&M,-distortions and inefficiencies induced by subsidies, and-inadequate accountability of irrigation system managers to water users. The effects that can be expected from a system of user charges depend on-whether the charges are assessed as water prices or as area-based fees,-whether the irrigation agency has a significant degree of financial autonomy, and-the nature of the linkages between irrigation charges and investment decisions. Other important considerations in establishing user charges are the ability of the users to pay irrigation fees; the cost-effectiveness of O&M activities; the costs of implementing the user charges; and whether charges are project-specific or uniform throughout a region or a nation.
