Set incentives for water conservation and pollution prevention

Another objective of economic instruments is to provide an economic incentive for water users to use water carefully, efficiently, and safely in order to save water resources and prevent pollution. If discharge of wastewater into the sewerage system or the Environment is linked with increasing wastewater bills, people might change their behaviour or industrial processes in order to produce less wastewater to save costs. Economic instruments can therefore contribute significantly to demand side management in water management.
