Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the performance of water user organizations (WUOs) in the agricultural sector in terms of their managerial efficiency. A survey was carried out across the study area to evaluate 67 WUOs, including irrigation cooperatives, municipalities, village legal entities (VLEs) and water user associations (WUAs). The findings were then used to create a management performance index. It has been determined that municipalities excel in terms of physical performance, irrigation cooperatives in enterprise and social performance and WUAs in institutional and investment performance. The general management performance index revealed that the most successful WUOs in the Konya closed basin were WUAs. Therefore, proposals have been put forward to begin institutionalization processes in other institutions to attain the successful institutionalization in WUAs. Additionally, the shift towards prepaid systems is recommended to mitigate collection problems, while water should be priced according to the full cost method. Finally, supporting the use of alternative energy sources for irrigation is crucial.

机构多样性在水资源可持续利用中的作用：用水户组织之间的绩效比较

本研究旨在比较农业部门用水户组织（WUOs）在管理效率方面的表现。在整个研究地区开展了一项调查，对 67 个用水户组织进行了评估，其中包括灌溉合作社、市政当局、村法人实体 (VLE) 和用水户协会 (WUAs)。评估结果被用于创建管理绩效指数。结果表明，市政当局在物质绩效方面表现突出，灌溉合作社在企业和社会绩效方面表现突出，用水户协会在机构和投资绩效方面表现突出。总体管理绩效指数显示，科尼亚封闭流域最成功的用水户组织是用水户协会。因此，提出了在其他机构开始制度化进程的建议，以实现用水户协会的成功制度化。此外，还建议转向预付费系统，以缓解收缴问题，同时应根据全成本方法对水进行定价。最后，支持使用替代能源进行灌溉至关重要。

期刊介绍： Human intervention in the control of water for sustainable agricultural development involves the application of technology and management approaches to: (i) provide the appropriate quantities of water when it is needed by the crops, (ii) prevent salinisation and water-logging of the root zone, (iii) protect land from flooding, and (iv) maximise the beneficial use of water by appropriate allocation, conservation and reuse. All this has to be achieved within a framework of economic, social and environmental constraints. The Journal, therefore, covers a wide range of subjects, advancement in which, through high quality papers in the Journal, will make a significant contribution to the enormous task of satisfying the needs of the world’s ever-increasing population. The Journal also publishes book reviews.
