The main objective of this book is to develop a management model for optimal use of irrigation water in the Jordan Valley. The book presents a practical approach for the purpose by building a linear programming optimization model for analyzing allocation of irrigation water in quantities, qualities, timing, prices and pricing policies; and their impact on agricultural production and income. The results shows the effectiveness of the use of pricing mechanism as a policy tool in dealing with water in irrigated agriculture under the current water management institution in the Jordan valley. It also shows the effectiveness of the use of pricing mechanism as a policy tool in dealing with water in irrigated agriculture under the current water management institution in the Jordan valley.
