Abstract:

The article analyzes the main issues related to sustainable development and water prices, and proposes a method to assess the impact of economic incentives (such as charges) on water consumption. The article presents the basic principles of water pricing: providing an incentive for efficient use of water, fair distribution of costs, consideration of social issues, and keeping the tariff structure rather simple and easy to implement. Conclusions and hints are presented on the correct price systems aimed at more sustainable consumption.
