Abstract

The provision of appropriate Legal Instruments for precise oversight of trade process and resolution of possible issues is one of the requirements for establishment of an efficient water market. The dominant approach of Iran’ s water legal system is the incentive of water market formation. However, there are some legal documents such as Articles 27 and 28 of the Fair Water Distribution Law that limit the water trade process. Although the guidelines for the implementation of these clauses have been amended by the Ministry of Energy but there are still the ambiguities in the water market conditions. In this paper along with the identification of the incentive and restrictive laws of the water market, some of the legal challenges of water trade are presented through the analysis of laws related to the Iran’ s water legal system. Then, by examining the status of trades within the Borkhar pilot plain, the challenges and considerations for the success of this water market are identified. Based on field-level visits in the study area inter-sectional trades are of general interest. Accordingly, the agriculture-based industries and building industries have a potential and actual willingness to purchase water from agricultural wells. The results showed that the establishment of an efficient water market needs such considerations as issuance of a separate document and independence of the withdrawal permits from the lands, modification and adjustment of exploitation licenses, equipping wells with smart meters and establishments of groundwater users’ associations by strengthening incentive laws and amending barrier laws.
