Abstract

This chapter provides an assessment of the application of co-operative agreements (CAs) between farmers and water suppliers in the United Kingdom (UK) and of the feasibility of their wider use for water management. It includes an examination of the national features that determine the likelihood of CAs, and an evaluation of the efficiency of CAs where they have been, and where they may potentially be, adopted. Policies, which may assist the creation of CAs in the UK, are also discussed. This chapter focuses on CAs between water suppliers and farmers but also mentions co-operation between nature organisations and farmers, which are more common and provide further insight into the UK situation.
