Abstract

The Law on Hydraulic Work has taken effect since 01 July, 2018. The most important new point to be considered as “breakthrough” in this Law is a change of approach concepts from “serving” to “service” modes and a transfer from irrigation and drainage service fee to pricing mechanisms. Product, services which are produced from exploiting the hydraulic works are quite diverse and abundant with many different types and serve for different use purposes. Products and services from hydraulic works are both “public” and “private”  characteristics  and be influenced by political and social factors, so they are sensitive, etc. Developing institutional frameworks for price of product, services created from exploiting hydraulic works should be set up on basis of internal characters of its own cost elements. The price is defined as a payment for a unit of product, service produced from exploiting hydraulic works but which price levels are suitable with what types of product, services and which using purposes and subjects are? which foundation used for pricing is?, which levels of supports, subsidies and assistance for payment of irrigation and drainage product, service use should be applied to achieve both goals of equity and efficiency, in line with the national policies in each development stage?,… These are issues that need to be thoroughly studied in order to concretize in process of proposing guidelines and documents in implementing the Law on hydraulic work.

This paper presents a summary of the scientific basis for pricing of product, services produced from exploiting hydraulic works, pricing methods, and recommending options of product, services’ price from exploiting from hydraulic works and a roadmap for implementation in accordance with the Law on Hydraulic Work.

Key words: Law on Hydraulic Work, pricing mechanisms,  policy.
