Download or read book Charging for Irrigation Services written by Frank van Steenbergen and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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: scarcity of water to meet competing demands, and scarcity 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 systems. 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.
Book Synopsis Irrigation Water Pricing by : François Molle
Download or read book Irrigation Water Pricing written by François Molle and published by CABI. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much hope has been vested in pricing as a means of helping to regulate and rationalize water management, notably in the irrigation sector. The pricing of water has often been applied universally, using general and ideological policies, and not considering regional environmental and economic differences. Almost 15 years after the emphasis laid at the Dublin and Rio conferences on treating water as an economic good, a comprehensive review of how such policies have helped manage water resources an irrigation use is necessary. The case-studies presented here offer a reassessment of current policies by evaluating their objectives and constraints and often demonstrating their failure by not considering the regional context. They will therefore contribute to avoiding costly and misplaced reforms and help design water policies that are based on a deeper understanding of the factors which eventually dictate their effectiveness.

Download or read book Charging for Irrigation Water written by C. J. Perry and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2001 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: nadequate funding for maintenance of irrigation works and emerging shortages of water are prevalent. The use of water charges to generate resources for maintenance and to reduce demand is widely advocated. Examples from other utilities, and from the domestic/industrial sectors of water supply suggest the approach could be effective. In developing countries, the facilities required for measured and controlled delivery of irrigation are rarely in place, and would require a massive investment in physical, legal and administrative infrastructure. To be effective in curtailing demand, the marginal price of water must be significant. The price levels required to cover operation and maintenance (O&M) costs are too low to have a substantial impact on demand, much less to actually bring supply and demand into balance. On the other hand, the prices required to control demand are unlikely to be within the politically feasible range. Furthermore, water supplied is a proper measure of service in domestic and industrial uses. But in irrigation, and especially as the water resource itself becomes constrained, water consumption is the appropriate unit for water accounting. This is exceptionally difficult to measure. An alternative approach to cope with shortage would focus on assigning volumes to specific uses–effectively rationing water where demand exceeds supply. This approach has a number of potential benefits including simplicity, transparency, and the potential to tailor allocations specifically to hydrological situations, particularly where salinity is a problem. Data from Iran are presented to support these contentions.

Book Synopsis Water Requirements for Irrigation and the Environment by : Marinus G. Bos
Download or read book Water Requirements for Irrigation and the Environment written by Marinus G. Bos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-23 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrigated agriculture produces about 40% of all food and fibre on about 16% of all cropped land. As such, irrigated agriculture is a productive user of resources; both in terms of yield per cropped area and in yield per volume of water consumed. Many irrigation projects, however, use (divert or withdraw) much more water than consumed by the crop. The non-consumed fraction of the water may cause a variety of undesirable effects ranging from water-logging and salinity within the irrigated area to downstram water pollution. This book discusses all components of the water balance of an irrigated area; evapotranspiration (Ch.2), effective precipitation (Ch.3) and capillary rise from the groundwater table (Ch.4). Chapter 5 then combines all components into a water management strategy that balances actual evapotranspiration (and thus crop yield) with the groundwater balance of the irrigated area (for a substainable environment). Chapter 6 presents CRIWAR 3.0, a simulation program that combines all water balance components into a single simulation procedure. The chapter describes the use of the CRIWAR software for developing water requirement tables and other useful information based on the selected water management strategy. This version greatly expands upon the capabilities of previously published programs.

Book Synopsis Permissible Annual Charges for Irrigation Water in Upper San Joaquin Valley by : Frank Adams
Download or read book Permissible Annual Charges for Irrigation Water in Upper San Joaquin Valley written by Frank Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Permissible Annual Charges for Irrigation Water in Upper San Joaquin Valley: A Cooperative Report by the College of Agriculture, University of California Table 1 shows the, excess of farm income over the costs of producing and harvesting the crops considered, together with interest on the average investment at 6 per cent per annum; also the amounts it is believed can reasonably be. Paid for irrigation water. The costs considered permissible. Are for a full supply of water delivered at the land on which it is to be used. And are therefore intended to include all such items as interest and principal payments on necessary capital expenditures for irrigation works and water supply, costs of maintenance and operation of irrigation works, as ordinarily understood, and supplemental pumping. It is not suggested that none of the growers in the upper San Joaquin Valley can pay higher irrigation charges for the different crops studied than are arrived at herein. Some, of course, produce more than others. And there are wide differences in the efficiency of growers, types of farm enterprises, amount of: working capital available, and the numerous other factors that determine cost of production and farm income. Neither is it suggested that the charges proposed can be paid by all of the growers, this also being because of the differences mentioned above. The permissible charges suggested are intended to be base, charges which will be assessed in accordance with the earning capacity of the land; that is. On a benefit or ad valorem basis.

Book Synopsis Cost of Water to Irrigators in California (Classic Reprint) by : Harry F. Blaney
Download or read book Cost of Water to Irrigators in California (Classic Reprint) written by Harry F. Blaney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cost of Water to Irrigators in California This report represents the results of a field study of the cost of water to irrigators under various types of irrigation enterprises in California, which was supported cooperatively by the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, the Department of Public Works of California, and the University of California Agricultural Experi ment Station. Water yearly is becoming of higher value and more difficult to obtain, in consideration of which bankers, investors, govern ment officials, engineers, and farmers may well ask what expenditure can be justified to develop a water supply on land suitable for growing high grade crops, and what water charge can such land pay. Farmers and prospective farmers are in need of such cost data as will enable them to choose creps that may be grown profitably under existing water charges. In California the following types of enterprises may furnish irrigation water: public utilities, contract companies, irrigation districts, mutual water companies, individuals, partnerships, associations, private com panics, United States Bureau of Reclamation, United. States Indian Service, state land settlements, water works districts, municipal improve ment districts, and reclamation districts. However, for the purpose of this investigation, most of the data collected may be placed under one of Jour classifications: public utilities, irrigation districts, mutual water companies, or private pumping plants. For a report of this character to be useful in published form, it must give information on the type of irrigation system, locality, age, source of water supply, duty of water, acreage irrigated, kind of creps, capital invested, and water charges, in addition to annual cost of water to the irrigator. Such data were obtained for this report by visiting the princi pal irrigation enterprises oi the state. The data on private pumping plants were obtained by making field tests in each case. Figures on duty of water given in the report are of varying degrees of accuracy. Some. Are results of careful measurements or metering. At. The other extreme are merely the best estimates of the system engineer or superintendent, based on occasional or periodical gaging and close familiarity with the use of water under the system. Great care was taken, however, to have the figures represent, if not exactly, at least approximately, the true use of water, and none have been included that were not considered by the system engineer or superintendent to conform to this standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains a collection of papers from a workshopâ€"Strengthening Science-Based Decision-Making for Sustainable Management of Scarce Water Resources for Agricultural Production, held in Tunisia. Participants, including scientists, decision makers, representatives of non-profit organizations, and a farmer, came from the United States and several countries in North Africa and the Middle East. The papers examined constraints to agricultural production as it relates to water scarcity; focusing on 1) the state of the science regarding water management for agricultural purposes in the Middle East and North Africa 2) how science can be applied to better manage existing water supplies to optimize the domestic production of food and fiber. The cross-cutting themes of the workshop were the elements or principles of science-based decision making, the role of the scientific community in ensuring that science is an integral part of the decision making process, and ways to improve communications between scientists and decision makers.

This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is one of the few industries that has been creating resources conti- ously from nature. Sustainability of this industry is a crucial issue at now-a-days. Agricultural technologies are important to feed the growing world population. Agricultural engineering has been applying scienti?c principles for the optimal use of natural resources in agricultural production for the bene?t of humankind. The role of agricultural engineering is increasing in the coming days at the forthcoming challenges of producing more food with less water coupled with climate uncertainty. I am happy to know that a book entitled "Fundamentals of Irrigation and On-farm Water Management", written by Engr. Dr. M. H. Ali, is going to be p- lished by Springer. The book is designed to cover the major ?elds of agricultural and environmental engineering such as weather, plant, soil, water, and basics of on-farm water management. The book will be quite useful for the students of agricultural engineering. Students of other related branches of engineering s- ences, and engineers working in the ?eld and at research institutes will also be beni?ted. The book may serve as a text book for the students and as a practical hand-book for the practitioners and researchers in the ?eld of irrigation and on-farm water management. Utilization of the recent literature in the area and citation of relevant journals / reports have added a special value to this book. Considering the topics covered, engineers, scientists, practitioners, and educators will ?nd this book as a valuable resource.

This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent experience confirms that participation of farmers in managing parts of an irrigation system and collecting water charges usually results in a more efficient use of water. To be effective, farmers in the hydraulic unit would need to organize themselves by establishing a "water users" association. This paper presents a comparative study of the legal framework for these associations in Colombia, India, Mexico, Nepal, the Philippines, and Turkey. Building on the theory that participation of farmers in managing and operating parts of an irrigation system will result in an optimum use of water, the document analyzes in a comparative manner how each of these countries addressed the basic aspects related to the establishment and functioning of such associations. Additional emphasis is placed on the collection of water charges.

Book excerpt: In many countries irrigated agriculture consumes a large proportion of the available water resources, often over 70% of the total. There is considerable pressure to release water for other uses and, as a sector, irrigated agriculture will have to increase the efficiency and productivity of its water use. This is particularly true for manually operated irrigation systems managed by government agencies, which provide water for a large number of users on small landholdings and represent 60% of the total irrigated area worldwide. --
