Abstract

Lack of adequate water resources not only reduces the trend of agricultural development but also causes damage and losses in the future. This study is a comprehensive research on water resource management using water footprint approach, water footprint accounting and water use efficiency by clustering analysis. In this study, water footprint of green, blue, gray and white in saffron production are calculated using principle framework during 2008-2014. These indicators were calculated using data and common methodology. The result showed that the share of WFGreen, WFBlue, WFWhite and WFGray is 12, 39, 44 and 5%, respectively in saffron production for which a mean water footprint of 4900 m3. kg-1 is estimated. The amount of water footprint accounting and water use efficiency is calculated to be 1. 91-5. 93 m3. kg-1 and 0. 2-0. 62 kg. m-3, respectively. In assessing prioritization of provinces using two indicators, the provinces were divided into four categories. Lorestan, Kermanshah, Hamedan, North Khorasan, Tehran, Kerman, East Azerbaijan and Zanjan provinces including the lowest water footprint accounting and water footprint while these provinces have the highest water use efficiency. The category of these provinces has the first rank. Golestan, Ghazvin, Markazi, Alborz, Yazd, South Khorasan and Razavi Khorasan provinces have the second rank, Fars and Semnan have the third rank and Chaharmahal and Bakhtirai have the last rank of priority. Based on these results, considering indicators such as water use efficiency, water footprints and footprint counting can help decision makers to develop the cultivation of Saffron.
