Improving water productivity in food production has been a basic global issue, especially in countries with limited water resources like Iran. Due to quantitative and qualitative limitations of water, measurement and analysis of agricultural water productivity indicators in Iran deserve special attention. Accordingly, in the present study, the physical and economical productivity of crops in Bahar plain, Hamadan, was investigated for the period of 2010-11. In this research, completing previous studies, water productivity indicators in different irrigation methods were calculated. The results showed that water productivity of the modern irrigation methods was significantly higher than traditional irrigation methods. Also, based on net benefit per drop (NBPD) index, garlic and alfalfa, respectively, showed the highest and lowest productivity. This can be considered as a proposed policy change in cropping pattern.
