EG5.2 Assessment of Irrigation Service Charge System - Donghe Irrigation District
This example describes how an existing irrigation service charging (ISC) system can be evaluated to ensure that it meets its objectives of achieving cost recovery whilst being affordable by farmers. The example is based on the Donghe Irrigation District in Jinchang Municipality, Gansu Province. This is a large scale surface irrigation district used mainly for growing cereal crops. The charging system is well-designed, with the main constraint being the application of volumetric charges at farmer level as the measurement infrastructure is very limited. Simplified methods for calculating fees due are used in practice on the basis of proxy indicators. It is based on the method and assessment framework described in Advisory Note 5.2 ‘Formulation of Irrigation Service Chargers for Surface Water Irrigation Schemes’
