Abstract
Water shortage is one of the mainly world issues and, considering climate change projections, it is going to be prominent in the coming years. This PhD thesis examines the effectiveness of replacing water pricing scheme (based on proportional allocation rule) in the agricultural sector with the implementation of security-differentiated water pricing based on a priority rule. The main objective is to design a water pricing scheme able to guarantee an efficient water resource reallocation during hydrological drought condition in order to minimize negative economic impacts. To this end, a positive mathematical programming (PMP) model was implemented to simulate the performance of the proposed reform in an irrigation area in southern Italy (Consorzio di Bonifica della Capitanata, Puglia). Results show an economic outcomes improvement both for farmers and for water authorities, showing an increase in farmers’ gross margin and Consortium Revenue when the security-differentiated water pricing scheme was applied. Such findings offer interesting insights within the water pricing policies debate, contributing to the development of scientific knowledge about water use management over the agricultural sector.
