Basically, water management is critical to the economic growth and environment protection. Its optimization is one of the general global strategies.

This study surveys the effects of devolution of irrigation management to water users association to improvement of management on the water conveyance and water distribution in a case study, Qazvin plain, Iran. They investigated several eco-geographical variables including land and canal geographical location and beneficiary's habitats' area as travelling for water provision. The research was developed based on experimental investigation method to reduce the transportation of 3000 stockholder to headquarter office in the capital of the province. As a result, the function of water user assassinations was indicated travelling for water provision had reduced 75% because of shortening in distance in the every watering year. Overall, the feedback of users was investigated by comparing the users' satisfaction degree between before and after irrigation management transfer. The outputs showed that the travelling dimension for water provision is more important and significant.
