Estimation of irrigation water demand and its economic value

Abstract

    Irrigation water use plays a very important role in agricultural production in Red river Delta, but it has relatively low economic efficiency compared with other water uses such as domestic water uses, water uses for hydropower generating and industries, .... So it's very important to estimate demand for irrigation water use as well as its economic value in order to suggest various managerial tools for improving efficient water allocation to meet food security goals in economic manner. In the context of the article, we implement various methods to estimate irrigation water demand and economic values of irrigation water in some irrigation systems in Red river Basin such as Lakhe, Lienson and Nuicoc and compare the results to confirm the degree of accuracies of the methods
