An Analysis of solutions to improve the implementation of pressurized irrigation plans in Qazvin province

The development of pressurized irrigation with the goal of boosting irrigation productivity and efficiency is one of the measures to improve water management in the context of climate change. These projects have problems with the implementation process, which can be identified and resolved to improve the project's performance. In this regard, the current research aimed to discover solutions for improving the implementation of pressured irrigation projects in the province of Qazvin. The study's statistical population included all farmers who installed a pressurized irrigation system in their farms between 2015 and the end of 2018 (N = 477). According to the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table, the sample size was determind to be equal to 214 farmers (n = 214). A stratified proportionate sampling method was used to choose the number of farmers in each category (county), and a simple random sample method was used to select the farmers who were interviewed. The reliability of the main scale of the questionnaire was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α =0.74), and the content validity was established using expert judgment. In the primary analysis, the KMO statistic was 0.829, and the Bartlett test were significant at the 1% level, indicating that the data were appropriate for factor analysis. According to the findings, the economic-supportive solution explained the most (17.16 percent) of the overall variance. In addition, measures to reduce administrative complexity (11.43 percent), extension-education programs (10.94 percent), monitoring-institutional initiatives (10.84 percent), and infrastructure-executive measures (9.77 percent) all played a role in explaining the overall variance in farmers' perceptions of improving the implementation of pressurized irrigation schemes.
