European water policy, as set out in the Water Framework Directive (WFD), requires all EU
Member States to implement volumetric water pricing at rates that roughly cover the total
costs of providing water services. The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology
that, for the different types of farm in an irrigable area, will enable us to analyse the
differential impact that a pricing policy for irrigation water would have. For this purpose, Multi‐
Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) mathematical programming models were used. The …
