Investigating the Cultivation Pattern of Aquifer of Imamzadeh Jafar Gachsaran and Determining the Cultivation Pattern with High Productivity

Drought and water scarcity in Iran is a climatic reality and due to the increasing need for water in various sectors, the phenomenon of drought will become more severe in the coming years. Therefore, in such conditions, one of the effective and practical solutions is the optimal use and saving of various water uses, especially in the agricultural sector. In this study, by examining the meteorological and soil science information of Imamzadeh Jafar area, the water requirement of crops and orchards was calculated. Then, based on the yield and net income of the dominant crops per hectare, the amount of physical and economic productivity of water in each crop was calculated. Finally, by evaluating the current cropping pattern, the future cropping pattern of the aquifer was proposed. The results showed that the average productivity for the dominant aquifer products was 0.98 kg / m3 and the economic productivity of the products per m3 of water consumption was calculated at an average of 8904 Rials. The results of economic productivity assessment showed that the economic value of the proposed cropping pattern is 7 times higher than the current cropping pattern.
