Abstract :
In this study, International Water Management Institute (IWMI) comparative indicators are applied to assesment of irrigation performance of Lower Gediz Basin Water User Associations for the period of 2002-2008. According to results, output per cropped area, output per unit command, output per unit irrigation supply, output per unit water consumed, relative water supply and relative irrigation supply were determined as 3290 - 4829 $ha^-1, 1411-3236 $ha^- 1, 0.48 -0.68 $m^-3, 0.45-0.76 $m^-3, 1.45- 2.05 and 0.91-1.72 respectively. According to these results, there was an increase at the revenue from unit water and land over time. For this reason, the performance of the water user associations have been improved from 2002 to 2008.
