|Pub Title=Irrigation Management in the Jordan Valley
|Pub Subtitle=The neglected Issue of Principal-Agent Problems
|Pub Author=Huppert, W., Urban, K.
|Pub Editor=Journal of Applied Irrigation Science, Vol. 37, No. 2/2002, pp.199-218
|Pub Year=2002

|Pub Abstract=This paper, which draws on discussions with JVA in 1998, does not aim at reflecting the actual situation of JVA. Instead, referring to the Situation of 1998, it seeks to illustrate how concepts of "Principal-Agent theory", as described in the previous paper, may be applied in practical cases. The paper analyses the institutions for water allocation, water delivery and maintenance in the Jordan Valley irrigation system and explicitly points to specific areas where potential principal-agent problems may deserve attention. The article refers to the governance debate in the papers of this journal, and shows that in most cases the governance mechanisms for water allocation, water delivery and maintenance in the Jordan Valley irrigation were either deficient or altogether non-existent. Unsurprisingly, the main actors, JVA staff and farmers, had little incentive to change the rules of the game- indeed, it may actually be in their best interests to maintain the system's existing inefficiencies
