Abstract

The lack of water and the gradual reduction of desirable water reserves are considered to be one of the main reasons for limiting the production of agricultural products in most regions of the world, including Iran. The purpose of this research is to predict the farmers' reaction to the change in the cultivation pattern in the form of the policy of reducing the available water and the implementation of the pressure irrigation method, and consequently the effects of this change in the cultivation pattern on the gross profit and net yield of the farmers at the level of farms in Arzuieh city from the functions It is Kerman province. The available water reduction policy was considered with defaults of 5, 10 and 15%. The required data were collected by using simple random sampling method and completing 100 questionnaires for the crop year 1400-1401. The results showed that the adoption of the policy of reducing the available water under the 15% scenario led to the reduction of the cultivated area of all the selected crops and the gross profit of the model was reduced by 48% compared to the observed level by applying this scenario. The comparison of this policy with the implementation of the drip irrigation method showed that the implementation of this irrigation method compared to the observed level, increases the net profit of the model by 30.75% and reduces the water consumption of the selected crops by 210%.
