It is necessary to say that Zayandehrod is one of the most important farming water resources in this region. After completion of 100 questioners by farmers of the region being studied, based on area under cultivation, farms were categorized into 3 groups and under 3 different scenarios for risk values in available water and water yield, by using a multi-attribute planning model the consequences of establishment of water market on the level of farmers’ welfare were deter. With establishment of water market while price of irrigation water was considered exogenous, multi-values desirability function for each one of representative farms was determined. In the next stage, irrigation water price was considered to be endogenous and determination of weight for each one of representative farms and generalizing that to all farms in the group, dramatizing irrigation water market under nine different scenarios for risk values available amount of water and water yield was carried out and again consequence of water market establishment was studied and compared with the status of the prior water market establishment. Results shown that in all three groups despite of establishment of water market in two cases of water price being exogenous and endogenous, level of welfare between farmers has increased and therefore in the area with establishment of water market total welfare of farmers are risen.
