In this book, Leslie Small and Ian Carruthers examine in detail the potentials and limitations of user fees, combining their extensive field experience of irrigation in developing countries with simple concepts of economics to propose possible institutional and financial reforms which would not simply ask farmers to pay for an inadequate irrigation service, but would create the potential for significant improvements in the quality of the service provided.
