The record-high percentage of the agricultural water use at the national level, together with a fairly loose system of water management, point out that there is a certain need for reform in related policies, including the pricing system for the provision of water services to agriculture uses. The paper presents current information and figures regarding the overall situation of irrigated agriculture in Greece and its relation to water management issues. It also illustrates a number of case studies pertinent to this sectoral water economy. A common element in all these studies is the application of appropriate methodologies that aim at valuating water for irrigation and assessing current and potential future systems of agricultural water pricing. In face of the prospect of Greece conforming to the European Water Framework Directive, the presented applications add to the ongoing debate on the applicability of the principle of full cost recovery of water services in European countries.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>29</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>323</first_page><last_page>335</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">280</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000280</doi><timestamp>1715019255</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/280</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
