Abstract

Agriculture continues to be the largest consumer of water in the world.While irrigation water is increasingly becoming a scarce input, farmers have to also compete with other uses such as industry and households. Traditional gravity irrigation is by and large inefficient in using water. Therefore, there is a raising demand by agriculturalists to modern irrigation technology. In Iran, the ministry of Jihad-e Agriculture has allocated considerable funds to promote the use of SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMs.It is argued that sprinkler irrigation can improve water use efficiency by 70-80%. It must be emphasize, however, that the efficiency of an introduced technology such as sprinkler irrigation depends on a number of considerations.-eg. the way it is used and the nature of problems farmers face under the new environment beside technical factors.The present research aimed to determine the problems and obstacles facing farmers who has adopted sprinkler irrigation technology. It used qualitative research techniques to collect data from farmers in four provinces of Iran. In-depth interviews were conducted with 124 sample farmers who had adopted the technology. They were selected based on random sampling method in each province.The results showed that there were totally 18 problems, classified into technical, information and economic categories, each of which may contribute to failure or inefficient use of SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM. The study presented a number of recommendations to improve the design and implementation of SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
