Abstract: Abstract The collective pressurized irrigation system (CPIS), by definition, is expressed as a process of implementing unified pressurized irrigation systems on adjacent lands along with the participation of smallholders and the government and utilizing a public well on integrated lands. This study investigates the factors that affect the tendency to adopt CPIS in Takestan County of Qazvin Province (Iran) over the years 2016–2017. The statistical population of this study includes farmers who use groundwater for irrigation in Takestan County (N = 1740). Of these farmers, 210 were selected as the sample size using Cochran formula, Chi-square, Phi and Cramer's V, and Lambda tests that were used to investigate the relationship between the proposed irrigation system adoption and different dependent variables. Seven research hypotheses were proposed and tested. Since there is a positive and significant relationship between all social communication features and the adoption of CPIS, it is, therefore, recommended that city officials provide more promotional/educational classes and necessary facilities to increase farmers’ acquaintance with new irrigation methods and raise their awareness about the benefits of such a participation in these schemes and programs. In doing so, there is a higher chance that farmers would cooperate to a greater degree in water management.
