Abstract

Water User Associations (WUAs) have been promoted to address water supply problems and to encourage efficient water use. Establishing a successful WUA needs a holistic feasibility study. Therefore, the purpose of this survey was to study feasibility of establishing WUAs in KAVAR plain in FARS province, Iran. The target population of the study was 977 farmers who have benefited from Bahman mud dam. A simple cluster sampling technique was used to select a representative sample of farmers. A total of 135 farmers were interviewed with the aid of a questionnaire containing open and closed questions. Face validity was confirmed by experts, and the questionnaire was subjected to reliability testing by using data collection in the pilot study with Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.52 to 0.83. Results indicated that despite the appropriate social context (social capital, tendency toward PARTICIPATION, and participatory background), economic condition (income), and attitude dimension (attitude towards WUAs, reference group attitude, attitude regarding water crisis), the cultural condition (level of information, and farmers’ contact with information resources) did not have a significant effect. Logistic regression modeling results showed that, farmers' access to information sources, reference group attitude, farmers’ contact with information resources, and farmers’ attitude towards WUAs, were the most important factors to predict farmers’ tendency toward establishing WUAs.
