Abstract

Agriculture, as the main water consumer in QAZVIN PLAIN, has attracted the most attention in water resources planning. In this study, WATER ACCOUNTING and VIRTUAL WATER TRADE concepts is used to determine t optimal crop pattern in QAZVIN PLAIN for better agricultural water management. The results showed that total water footprints and water resources footprints are about 2053 and 1411 MCM/year for period of 2003-2014, respectively. About 49.8 percent of virtual water footprint, 55.5 percent of water resources footprint, and 55.0 percent of net benefit were due to agricultural product export. Ceasing export of main crops from the plain would increase the average ECONOMICAL WATER FOOTPRINT from 707.2 to 780.3 m3/ million Rials. This would not increase the net benefit per unit of water, but would even decrease it. Twelve scenarios were defined to determine crop patterns while sustaining the current cultivation area, net benefit, and water resources saving. Closest scenarios to the current crop pattern and cultivated area, i.e. scenarios 9 and 11, saved 23.3 and 23.8 percent of the region’s water resources, respectively. These two scenarios respectively improved ECONOMICAL WATER FOOTPRINT up to 521.3 and 503.7 m3 per one million Rials.
