Abstract
This paper aimed to evaluate Water Use Efficiency (WUE)
indices for crops and horticulture productions. In doing
so, after gathering data from 164 farmers, we investigated
water withdrawal cost indices and monetary return per cubic
meter of water through two econometric and managerial approaches.
Besides, water shadow pricesand dry matters of per
cub meter of water were calculated. The results revealed that
the average monetary return per cubic metre of water is 3875.4
IRR1 (0.134 USD) and cost per cubic metre of well water
equals 839.3 IRR (0.029 USD), four times more than the value
of some current development projects of water resources.
Finally, according to the findings, we suggested a corrected
price trade term to adjust water monetary return indices.
Control policies and government participation in funding of
artificial recharge of undergorund aquifers projects were recommended
as well.
