Improved irrigation water pricing
sufficient to cover Operation and Maintenance (O&M) and
management costs for end-canal irrigation or tertiary
facilities is a vital requirement for efficient irrigation
service delivery and for sustainability of Water User
Associations (WUAs). This study investigates the key aspects
of end canal water pricing for irrigation, including the
composition of the water fee, water price determination,
water fee collection, and water fee management. The aim of
the study is to provide specific reference and guidance for
policy making on irrigation water pricing and on related
strengthening of farmer WUAs for better end-canal O&M.
Based on the literature reviewed for China, this is the
first study of its kind which is designed to support policy
making on end canal water fee reform, and simultaneously to
address both end-canal water pricing and WUA development in
that context. The study focuses on water fees for end- canal
or tertiary water facilities in Chinese Irrigation Districts (IDs).
