dc.description.abstract The purpose of this chapter is to show how double dividends could be obtained from using market instruments to tax water use in a developing country. The double dividends are namely environmental on the one hand and poverty reduction dividends on the other. A water tax on selected industries in South Africa to reduce demand for water are applied and then transfer the revenue from this tax to the poor to achieve reduction in absolute levels of poverty. en
