There may be considerable potential in Asia and the Pacific to use systems that enhance the visibility of resource consumption in a policy package alongside fees, charges or taxation to enhance efficiency. The city of New Delhi, for example, has a system of monitoring water consumption using a mobile phone application, used to enhance awareness of wasteful consumption alongside increased water rates (Hindustan Times, 2015). Environmental taxes can help reduce distortions in the economy and thus bring about economic efficiencies and increased welfare.
