Economic Valuation of Irrigation Water in Smallholder Farming System in Rwanda: The Case of Kibaya-Cyunuzi Scheme
- Sandrine URUJENI; Jean Chrysostome NGABITSINZE
- This study has been carried out in one irrigation scheme of the Eastern Province, Rwanda. The study determined the economic value of irrigation water of a smallholder irrigation scheme (Kibaya-Cyunuzi Scheme). The specific objectives were to estimate the economic value of water for irrigation, investigate the willingness to pay among smallholder farmers for irrigation water in Kibaya-Cyunuzi scheme and to identify the impact of Irrigation Management Transfer using water users’ association on water allocation and management in the scheme. The study worked on the data collected from 110 respondents from two villages which are Kibaya and Cyunuzi. The data were analyzed using descriptive and quantitative methods. The Residual Computation Method was used to compute the economic values of irrigation water for paddy as a main crop found in the scheme. This is because the government of Rwanda has given the production of paddy in the country’s marshlands a priority, because the marshlands are the areas where paddy has a great potential for increased production. The Contingent Valuation Method was employed to elicit the farmers’ willingness to pay for irrigation water and its related infrastructures; while the socio-technical analysis helped us to capture the process of water control and management through Water users association. The findings show that the economic value of water for irrigation for paddy was 5.33 Frw/m3. The economic value for paddy is low in that scheme due to the fact that some parts of that scheme do not receive sufficient water and paddy needs much water. The results from CVM indicate that the respondents were willing to pay an average of 8000 Frw per Ha per annum for irrigation water. The study also shows that the WUAs are becoming the realms of interaction for different interest groups involved in water management. The study revealed some of the problems faced by farmers in the scheme, and whose solutions require joint effort among stakeholders in order to improve farming in that scheme. The decision making process related to water sector investments, allocation and management could be properly guided if key dimensions of water that are related to water availability and use in the face of increased scarcity are properly accounted for in valuation.
