Abstract: 【Objective】 To study the influence of different geographical locations and landforms on farmers′ irrigation water behavior, and to offer countermeasures for improve the efficiency of agricultural irrigation water use and rationally formulate agricultural water prices. 【Method】 Based on the on-the-spot investigation of 207 households in Mianyang city, analyzed the main influencing factors of farmers′ willingness to pay, ability to bear and decision on irrigation water fee in hilly and plain areas. 【Result】Factors such as household income, household head age, education level and current water price difference had effects on the psychological bearing capacity of farmers. The increase of water price would reduce the enthusiasm of farmers for planting, and even led to the abandonment of farmland. Besides,the farmers in the hilly area were more sensitive to the change of water price than those in the plain area. When the water price rose above 1 500 yuan/hm²,48.72% of farmers in the hilly area chose to abandon the land and 43.59% would choose to reduce planting scale,while 12.82% of them wouldn’t change the original planting scale. However, 2.33% of the farmers in the plains choose to abandon the land and 5.43% would reduce the planting scale. 【Conclusion】 Promoting agricultural cooperative organizations, promoting water-saving spirit, implementing differentiated water price policies and improving water supply facilities are effective ways to improve the use efficiency of agricultural irrigation water.
