This paper discusses how incentive pricing involves setting water rates that provides
motivation to use water efficiently. It moves away from rate schedules based
solely on per-acre fixed charges and toward rate schedules that incorporate both fixed

Thus, conservation-oriented rate schedules allow individual farmers to be accountable
for their own water applications. Six program options are presented that can be used
to comply with the incentive pricing best
