Abstract

This review has been prepared as part of a research project on Irrigation Charging,Water Saving and Sustainable Livelihoods, funded by the British Government's Department for International Development. The wider aim of the project is todraw together information that will allow critical assessment of irrigation watercharging, either as a means to recover costs or to manage demand. Based on this assessment, the project will develop practical guidelines on water pricing policiesand charging mechanisms which will take account of the costs and practical issuesassociated with charging and the wider policy aims that charging for water mayseek to realise.
