All rights reserved.Water shortage is a long standing problem in Java and its condition is getting worse over time. The problem is not simply due to deterioration of natural resource, but also because demand for water steadily increases. This study is an attempt to use water charge policy to improve water use efficiency and inter-sector allocation which the government has apparently ignored by implementing a dual water charge policy. By this policy the government provides irrigation water to paddy agriculture with almost no water fee, while supply of water to industry and other urban sectors is apparently charged with expensive fee. This study was conducted in the Jatiluhur irrigation area of West Java to investigate the possibility of increasing irrigation water fee (ISF) for rice farming. The methods used are Residual Imputation Approach (RIA), Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and regression analysis. The research was conducted in the cultivation seasons of 2016/2017, from October 2016 to September 2017 with a total sample of 471 farmers. The cropping season was divided into two, namely wet season and dry season. This study confirmed that it is possible to improve irrigation service fee (ISF) in this region. The current fee paid by paddy farmers is only about three percent of the economic contribution of irrigation water to paddy production value. Because paddy farming is economically profitable, it does make sense to raise ISF. However, local farmers who are mostly poor could reject this proposal because of its adverse impact on their family income whose size is relative small. Anticipating this problem, the government should implement a policy to compensate such income reduction.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Irrigation water service fee,Residual imputation approach,Water use,Willingness to pay[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research is a part of doctoral dissertation of the first author at the Study Program of Agricultural Economics, Institut Pertanian Bogor.
