Abstract

Estimating Irrigation Water Technical Efficiency (IWTE) is one of the basic measures to manage water resources. In this study, using data from 100 Sugar beet farms in Urmia Lake Basin, Irrigation Water Technical Efficiency (IWTE), Irrigation Water Technical Cost Efficiency (ITCE), Output-oriented Technical Efficiency (OTE) and Input-oriented Technical Efficiency (ITE) are estimated using Stochastic Frontier function. The results showed that the share of irrigation water cost is less than all other inputs and is equal to 7. 57%. The average IWTE, ITCE, OTE and ITE were estimated to be 56. 65, 96. 53, 98. 77 and 52. 87%, respectively. These results imply that the observed quantity of Sugar beet (62. 91 tons) could be maintained by using the observed values of other inputs while using 43. 35% less irrigation water (3607 m3/ha). The average ITCE, which is equal to 96. 53%, suggests a potential reduction of 3. 47% of the total cost if irrigation water is adjusted to its efficient level. Correlation coefficient between IWTE and ITCE (67. 20), ITE (31. 14) and OTE (16. 44) indicates that ITCE, OTE and ITE would increase by improving IWTE. If the price of irrigation water in Sugar beet production increases by 39. 88%, the amount of water used and the cost of irrigation water will decrease by 43. 35% and 3. 47%, respectively. It is suggested to increase IWTE by developing irrigation technologies and water pricing policies.
