The Research on Price Elasticity of Agricultural Water Demand in Chahayang Irrigation Area

According to economics theory and by studying the price elasticity of agricultural water demand, the effects of water price on the agricultural water demand were analyzed and quantitative interrelation between them were determined. By applying the methodology of econometrics, price elasticity of the water demand was derived through construction of agricultural water demand function for Chahayang irrigation area. Furthermore the quantitative study of Chahayang irrigation area was done by using elasticity function of agricultural water demand. The study indicated that agricultural water price has a significant inhibiting effect on water demand. According to the problems of agricultural price of Chahayang irrigation area, some ideas of water supply price reform were proposed. The results can provide reference for the management of water resources.
