“…The amount of the subsidy to the water user is not clear, and the government has no clear regulations on the amount of the subsidy or how to issue the subsidy [1]. Although the hidden subsidy model shares the water cost of farmers, the low water price also leads to a lack of inherent motivation for farmers to use water-saving technologies [4]. In the study area of this article, 63.06% of the farmers believe that the water price they pay is higher than the cost of water supply, while 18.79% of the farmers believe that the water fee they pay is equal to the water supply cost, 17.2% of the farmers believe that the water price they pay is lower than the water supply cost, and only 0.96% of farmers think it is much lower.…”

Analyzing the farmer’s behavior and the water-saving incentive mechanism is of great significance to the implementation of the explicit subsidy policy of agricultural water prices. This paper introduces the concept of loss aversion from behavioral economics and conducts a theoretical analysis of the incentive mechanism of agricultural water prices to verify the hypotheses by using survey data from the three inland river basins in the Hexi Corridor, Northwest China. The results show that when farmers believe that their water-saving potential is relatively large, the loss aversion of farmers has a significantly positive impact on water-saving incentives under an explicit agricultural water price subsidy. In addition, irrigation canal evaluation and regional differences have negative and positive influences, respectively. Based on this, suggestions are made to actively promote the implementation of explicit subsidy of agricultural water prices in order to save irrigation water.
