Abstract: In this paper an analytical framework is presented that identifies the trade-offs that a regional authority desiring to improve groundwater quality is confronted with as it strives to balance the preferences of farmers and households. The basic rule developed indicates that the regional authority must choose a policy whereby any increase (decrease) in regional income is just equal to the decrease (increase) in net benefits to households.
