The full-cost recovery of irrigation: rationale, methodology, European experience
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the concept of full-cost recovery and its applicability to the water industry; building on this analysis, it proposes a methodology for assessing the financial structure of the water industry, in which the different perequation mechanisms are envisaged. The proposed scheme is then applied in order to analyze the financial structure of European irrigation and understand the level, importance and location of

An accounting model for assessing FCR
Recent European legislation adopts the concept of Full-cost recovery (FCR) as the guiding line for pricing of environmental services. In this paper, the meaning of the FCR concept is analysed and the economic rationale for its application is discussed. The basic idea developed is that FCR is a misleading concept, since costs are by definition recovered, and the problem becomes to assess how it ...
متن کاملConsideration of Water Productivity for Farm Water Management in Different Conditions of Water Availability for Dominant Summer Crops
ABSTRACT- Efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. This research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (WP) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
متن کاملThe Safety Level of Railway Infrastructure and Its Correlation with the Cost of Preventive and Mitigation Measures
This paper develops a methodology which allows the correlation between the cost which is required for the application of preventive and mitigation measures dealing with accidents which occur within a railway system and the improvement of the level of safety as a result from their implementation. The safety level is expressed either quantitatively, by the decrease of “fatality risk” indicator...
متن کاملWater pricing: Analysis of differential impacts on heterogeneous farmers
[1] European water policy requires all EU Member States to implement volumetric water pricing at rates that roughly cover the total costs of providing water services. The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology that will enable us to analyze the differential impact that a water pricing policy for irrigation would have on heterogeneous farmers of an irrigated area. For this purpose, ...
متن کاملIrrigation Water Pricing: Differential Impacts on Irrigated Farms
European water policy, as set out in the Water Framework Directive (WFD), requires all EU Member States to implement volumetric water pricing at rates that roughly cover the total costs of providing water services. The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology that, for the different farmtypes in an irrigable area, will enable us to analyse the differential impact that a pricing polic...
