Background and Objectives: Due to the limited water resources of the country, water should be allocated to products that have more economic benefits per cubic meter of water. Although this does not mean ignoring other basic and long-term goals such as food security and employment, it is necessary to pay attention to the issue of economic efficiency of water. Moreover, agriculture is the largest industry in Moghan Plain and consequently is the largest water consumer. So, the improvement of the water productivity in this plain can be useful for solving the problem of water shortage. Therefore, agricultural productivity indicators should be taken into account as one of the components of consumption management in utilizing water resources. In this research, recommendations were presented for organizing the crop pattern with assessment of the water productivity for agricultural products in Moghan agro-industry and livestock.Methodology: The research method in this study includes estimating crop yield, cost of agricultural operations (planting, holding and harvesting), sales revenue, net water demand, gross water demand and calculating water productivity in the production of important crops in Moghan Agro-industry and Livestock Company. Water productivity indicators including produced crop per one cubic meter of water (CPD), gross benefit per one cubic meter of water (BPD), and net benefit per one cubic meter of water (NBPD) were analysed and evaluated in the time period of 2017-2018.
