the price of water in agriculture plays an important role in the water allocation management. therefore, the optimum strategies of cropping pattern could be designed when water price analysis are considered in a predetermined economic framework. in the present study, a programming model was developed using the genetic algorithm for optimal water allocation in the eastern north of khuzestan prov...

most regions of iran are confronted with inadequate supply and excessive demand of water in agriculture sector mainly resulting from a high difference between water providing cost and its price. coping with such a challenge needs to determine the water price based on the economic principles and its value in agricultural production. the aim of this study was to determine the economic value of th...

objective: water scarcity is a growing global problem and increasing population pressures, living standards and the growing demand for environmental quality have evoked all the governments to represent better solutions about water resources management. in addition, there are growing political ties for reducing water use in agriculture that follow enough environmental benefits and increase the w...

water markets are instrumental in efficient allocation and pricing of scarce water by enhancing allocative and price efficiency of water use. the prerequisites for water market formation are tradable water rights independent from ownership of the land, extensive water canals, water use associations, and adequate market regulations. mojen water market has been facilitating exchange of alternativ...

the objective of this work is to analyze the effects of decrease in water subsidies (increase in the price of the water) on various economic sectors in order to promote the conservation of this resource based on the actual price of water. but over the past decades, various subsidizing methods hold the cost of water down. on the other hand, the indiscriminate use of these resources led the gover...
