About Incentives and Instruments for Sustainable Irrigation

This is the first book to look at Sustainable Irrigation in a holistic way by considering the interdependence of the objectives of sustainable agriculture, sustainable water management, sustainable water infrastructure, sustainable irrigation communities and a sustainable environment, the need for reallocating water between competing users, and the need for water and food security in an environment of scarcity. It also considers the need for new institutional and governance structures as well as robust allocation frameworks to deal with climate change, from both a theoretical and a conceptual perspective, as well as through a number of case studies from around the world. The book deals with the complex issue of promoting sustainable irrigation, which it views as a locally defined and constantly changing objective, rather than as a fixed defined endpoint. It provides a comprehensive discussion of the importance of institutions and governance in guiding the process and then provides examples from around the world of how incentives and instruments have been introduced to support the development of sustainable irrigation, how successful they have been, and what factors have promoted or impeded successful outcomes. The book also highlights the need to see sustainable irrigation within the context of other objectives such as food and water security, reallocating existing scarce resources between competing uses such as urban and industrial users as well as the environment when necessary. Finally, it clarifies how emerging issues such as bio-fuel production and increasing energy prices influence the process. The book is also unique in the group of authors contributing to the book. They represent numerous disciplines and include some of the long-term most influential authors in this field, such as Zilberman, Easter and Rob Young; some who have been very influential in more recent times, such as Mike Young, deLoe and Bjornlund; and some younger authors who are just starting to have an impact on the literature within their fields, such as Wheeler, Schierling, Schoengold, Hadjigeogalis and Kuehne. In this respect it should appeal to a very large multidisciplinary audience.
