%X The shortage of irrigation water is one of the most important problems
which Iran is facing. Irrigation water pricing is one of the economic
approaches to manage irrigation water consumption and using it efficiently.
This study purpose is to evaluate the effect of irrigation water price induction
on productivity of agriculture section in Iran (case: Kashan). This study is an
application development in terms of objective and a post-event in terms of the
study design, and is descriptive in terms of conclusion. The study results show
that during study period (2006-2010), irrigation water price has risen in Kashan
region. But this leads not only to increasing average cultivated land per a
farmer, but also to increasing crops and garden productsĄŻ monetary
productivity. It means that Iranian government can use irrigation water price
induction as a tool for increasing productivity in agriculture section in Iran.
In addition, crops and garden products have different productivities. Results
also show that dill and apricot have the highest productivity in all crops and
garden product in the region respectively.
