“…When government makes irrigation pricing policies, it ought to take the economic returns of irrigation water into account. On one hand, water price should reach or exceed its economic returns, in order to reduce their irrigation application under the more sensitive price elasticities of irrigation water demand; on the other hand, the corresponding compensation of water price should be implemented after irrigation fee collection, such as the precision subsidy mechanism of irrigation price [11,66], considering water price has exceed economic returns of water, which can alleviate farmers' burdens. In the system, a high water price can have an incentive effect on water conservation during irrigation, and the subsidy after irrigation (usually at the end of year) can make the actual irrigation cost finally payed by farmers not rise, which results in a win-win strategy with regard to irrigation price policy.…”

To encourage water to be used efficiently, an appropriate application rate or 'norm' is set for each crop; a farmer can use more than the norm provided they pay fees at a higher rate for the extra water.…”
