In particular, this paper discusses the role of government in irrigation development and allocation, economics of irrigation pricing, current status of irrigation water pricing and cost recovery in developing countries, and the reasons for the marginal cost pricing principal being not followed in developing countries. The paper also provides some suggestions for improving methods of water pricing and cost recovery.
