The current research was an attempt to investigate the use and maintenance of Sistan's irrigation network from the point of view of local experts and farmers. Gray system theory was used to find the appropriate operation and maintenance model for irrigation networks. The results indicate the positive effect of delegating network management on increasing employment, reducing rural migration, increasing the productivity of agricultural products, increasing farmers' confidence in providing food and income, proper distribution of water, increasing the use of irrigation networks, reducing wastage of water resources, increasing the sense of responsibility and confidence of the irrigation network systems was under the management/protection of the farmers. Also, the results showed that the most basic adverse consequences include lack of trust in carrying out responsibilities, lack of understanding and cooperation of water users, differences of opinion among farmers in water distribution, insufficient attention to training and development, lack of experience, lack of optimal use of resources and It was attention. Among the economic issues faced by water users, we can mention the lack of understanding and cooperation of the users. Since neither the main farmers nor the established cooperatives have enough knowledge about their obligations in the field of management, operation and maintenance of irrigation networks and taking necessary measures, the best possible solution is comprehensive training of farmers. Progress in this area depends on delegating the irrigation network management to proper alternatives.
