Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate water consumption behavior and its determinants among wheat farmers in the Orzuiyeh county, Kerman province. This study is a descriptive-analytical research (Correlation type) that was carried out with the aid of a survey. The statistical population of the study was wheat farmers in the Central District of the County (N=1350), from which 132 farmers were determined as sample study population by using Bartlett and colleague sample size table. The study instrument was a questionnaire validity of which was confirmed by a panel of experts. In order to measure the reliability of the questionnaire, a pilot study was conducted and its reliability was calculated using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0. 58-0. 86). Based on the results, the water management behavior with an average of 4. 68 revealed that farmers' behavior in terms of water management was fairly favorable and suggested that farmers have actually taken measures to reduce water consumption. The findings also showed that there is no significant relationship between age, education and household size with water management behavior. The results of Discriminant Analysis indicated that the characteristics of wheat field structure (land area, total cultivation area, wheat area, irrigation method and water supply source) were the most important variables of farmers' water consumption behavior.
