Description

<p>The objective of this study is to clarify the effects of volumetric irrigation water pricing in irrigation block units on the irrigation water use. In this scheme, water pricing can give incentives for water saving, but there is externality between the users in that the level of a user’s water fee is affected by the others in the same block. In addition, farmland accumulation can affect the externality and the users’ water saving cost. The empirical analysis shows price elasticity of demand is inelastic and farmland accumulation may not have a simple linear relationship with irrigation water use.</p>
