 As long as water is free of charge - as in most developing countries - the economic incentives to save water are too few to justify investment into new technologies or in advanced training.

 The stronger a water course is in use, the more important the coordination among users and the conservation of the water quality becomes. Furthermore, a prior condition for the sustainable use of water resources is regulation by local or regional authorities and institutions, who can act effectively for the whole water catchment area.
-Alongside the management and technical issues, the scheme or resource-oriented political and institutional aspects have to be included to enable higher water use efficiency to happen. But these political and institutional facets will only improve the situation if they are in the interests of the main stakeholders. Unfortunately, this is frequently not the case. Inadequate transparency with regard to water [[Water_Development_and_Allocation|allocation]] and use, and the associated inefficiencies, often pave the way for officials to make money illegally through preferential allocation of water (petty corruption). Hence, increasing transparency and accountability in the management of irrigation can yield significant efficiency gains and water savings (see also [[Corruption and rentseeking|corruption and rentseeking]]).
