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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural water management is a vital practice in ensuring reduction, and environmental protection. After decades of successfully expanding irrigation and improving productivity, farmers and managers face an emerging crisis in the form of poorly performing irrigation schemes, slow modernization, declining investment, constrained water availability, and environmental degradation. More and better investments in agricultural water are needed. In response, the World Bank, in conjunction with many partner agencies, has compiled a selection of good experiences that can guide practitioners in the design of quality investments in agricultural water. The messages of 'Shaping the Future of Water for Agriculture: A Sourcebook for Investment in Agricultural Water Management' center around the key challenges to agricultural water management, specifically: - Building policies and incentives - Designing institutional reforms - Investing in irrigation systems improvement and modernization - Investing in groundwater irrigation - Investing in drainage and water quality management - Investing in water management in rainfed agriculture - Investing in agricultural water management in multipurpose operations - Coping with extreme climatic conditions - Assessing the social, economic, and environmental impacts of agricultural water investments 'Shaping the Future of Water for Agriculture' is an important resource for those interested and engaged in development with a focus on agricultural water.

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.
