Résumé : | This study aimed to analyze the causes and consequences of agricultural water conflicts among agricultural water beneficiaries in the irrigation network of Doroodzan dam, Iran. This research applied mixed-method and descriptive analysis, which was done in two qualitative and quantitative phases. The results showed that the causes of water conflicts can be divided into two groups of controllable and uncontrollable factors. The findings revealed that the main causes of agricultural water conflict in the studied area were water scarcity, drought, physical structure of the Doroodzan dam irrigation network, and mismatched size of the irrigation network with Doroodzan dams water capacity as uncontrollable factors. Furthermore, weakness of governmental water management, lake for local management of water resources by farmers, governments reluctance about farmers participation, and farmers reluctance to participate in water management were identified as controllable factors. In this study, most of the conditions identified as consequences of water conflicts had socio-economic and agro-environmental aspects. Finally, based on the findings, a model was designed to determine the causes and consequences of agricultural water conflict. To break the causes and consequences cycle of water conflicts in Irans agriculture, the most important solution is shifting from governmentality to governance in water resources management. |
