| Abstract | Understanding willingness to pay (WTP) is one of the areas of concern for appropriate pricing and cost recovery in water and sanitation services. Baroda Municipal Corporation is implementing a water supply project and has suggested revisions in tariff rates of water. This study has been carried out against this background. It has used both indirect (revealed preferences) and direct (contingent valuation) methods to study the households' behaviour. Recommendations are given to improve cost recovery in the water and sanitation sector. |
