One of the most important challenges of food production for the increasing population of the country is water and water resource management. Since Hamedan province is located in arid zone, application of irrigation technologies that increase the water use efficiency is very important. In the past few years, government has allocated considerable budgets and efforts to the diffusion of irrigation technology. In recent years with so many changes in presentation of different technologies and methods of irrigation to market, choosing a suitable irrigation system is difficult. In selecting a special technology must be considered all of the factors interfered in efficiency of such technology. Thus the operation of sprinkler irrigation systems should be studied so that the best system can be selected. The purpose of this study was investigating the irrigation systems efficieny and introducing the best systems. Survey research method was used with a multistage stratified random sampling technique. A total of 157 farmers were interviewed in Hamedan province. Data were then collected through interviews for the agricultural year 2002.In this study analysis of sprinkler irrigation system was done by using compromise programing. Assessment of different irrigation systems in 23 standard formats shows that stationary sprinkler and trickle - irrigation systems in Bahar and Nahavand regions and stationary sprinkler and side-move systems in Razan, Kabotar Ahang and Hamedan regions and stationary sprinkler system in Malayer ,Asad Abad and Toyserkan regions are best choices for irrigation.
