The paper documents the costs and benefits of waste water irrigation from users' point of view, and assesses the potential for real blue water savings in a small town setting in the southern Punjab, Pakistan. The data presented in the paper (collected from April 2000-March 2001) suggest that waste water irrigation does lead to blue water savings, and it is profitable for farmers. While its potential is not fully exploited, more focus on appropriate approaches to physical and institutional aspects of waste water disposal planning and management could make waste water irrigation more productive, profitable, and safe for individuals as well as for the society as a whole.
