The paper considers how reliable sources of funding can be found, for new riverbasin management organizations, if these are established in the economic conditions of developing countries. These questions are considered against the general context of the gradual global movement towards the 'users pay' concept, which is already familiar in the irrigation sub-sector in many countries. Aspects discussed include the types of costs that will have to be met, possible sources of funds and the difficulties or constraints associated with them, methods by which the liability for payments can be assessed, methods available for compliance on the income side and for control and accountability on the expenditure side, and the impacts that charging systems may be expected to cause.
