Abstract :

Irrigation and drainage networks contribute to the balance between water resources management and sustainable agricultural development and have valuable effects on the economy and society. Participation of farmers in irrigation and drainage networks increases water productivity and improves agricultural sustainability. Therefore, the participation of users in irrigation network plans is essential as a new approach in water management. In this regard, a research was conducted with the aim of investigating social and economic characteristics and their impact on the participation and success of irrigation and drainage networks, focusing on the Alborz Dam network. The statistical population of this study included 72 farmers who participated in the irrigation and drainage network of Alborz Dam. The results showed that, in terms of social security, the implementation of irrigation network projects has reduced disputes and anomalies among the villagers. In terms of social literacy, farmers have considered the implementation of irrigation network projects to increase awareness in the field of strengthening local institutions. In terms of social participation, the implementation of irrigation network projects has not led to the participation of villagers in other village affairs. In general, the implementation of network projects has led to an increase in the price of agricultural land and the growth and revival of agricultural land.
