The agricultural sector is facing an increasing demand for water in Iran due to the large disparity between the cost of water supply and the price paid by farmers. Therefore, the real price of water neds to be calculated. To this end, in this study the economic value of water was calculated in the case of wheat, potatoes, alfalfa, barley and canola in Ardabil city using cross-sectional data collection for the year 2018, with 1087 questionnaires completed by farmers in the area. Data were analysed using Excel, SPSS and EViews software products. The economic value of irrigation water after analysing the results for wheat, potato, alfalfa, barley and canola crops was 0.026, 0.092, 0.022, 0.0225 and 0.0474 US$/m³, respectively. Since these calculated economic values are quite high for different crops, production of the crops in question is economically viable and the water consumed economically justified. The price of water supply in the Ardabil plain varies between 0.00877 and 0.0175 US$/m³, which is significantly different from the real price. Given the price difference between the cost of water supply and the price paid by farmers, incentive schemes can be used so that any farmer who consumes less water will benefit from a discount in the calculation of water prices, resulting in mitigation of water volume consumption.

伊朗阿尔达比勒平原主要作物灌溉用水的经济价值*

由于供水成本与农民支付的价格之间存在巨大差异，伊朗农业部门对水的需求不断增加。因此，水的实际价格需要计算。为此，在本研究中，使用 2018 年的横断面数据收集，以该地区农民完成的 1087 份问卷调查，以阿尔达比勒市的小麦、土豆、苜蓿、大麦和油菜为例，计算了水的经济价值。 . 使用 Excel、SPSS 和 EViews 软件产品分析数据。小麦、马铃薯、苜蓿、大麦和油菜作物的灌溉水经济价值分别为 0.026、0.092、0.022、0.0225 和 0.0474 美元/立方米³， 分别。由于这些计算出来的经济价值对于不同的作物来说是相当高的，因此所讨论的作物的生产在经济上是可行的，并且在经济上消耗的水是合理的。阿尔达比勒平原的供水价格在 0.00877 到 0.0175 美元/米³之间变化，与实际价格相差很大。鉴于供水成本与农民支付的价格之间的价格差异，可以使用激励计划，使任何用水较少的农民在水价计算中受益，从而减少用水量。
