| Abstract | The concepts of cost recovery and demand management in the context of water resources for small island countries are discussed. Water pricing mechanisms which could be used to achieve the goal of cost recovery are examined. Regulatory and economic measures, and pricing policies for limiting increases in demand (`demand management') are also presented. Examples from island countries are used to illustrate the policies discussed. |
