“…Hadelan et al (2018) found a statistically significant positive correlation at EU28 level between the share of irrigated surface and the share of surfaces containing vegetable plants. Among all plant species, vegetables are the most responsive to irrigation, registering the most favourable ratio of additional income and additional costs (Weatherhead et al, 1997). Absence of an irrigation system is one of the factors having a negative effect on increased intensification of vegetable production, as in the case of potato production in Montenegro found by Despotovi c et al (2017).…”

The aim of this paper is to compare and rank three possible locations for the construction of an irrigation system in different parts of Croatia. The need for this kind of research stems from the high investment costs of the irrigation system and possible long-term negative consequences of an incorrectly selected location. This paper applies a multi-criteria method of business decision making and ranking-the analytical hierarchy process. The overall rating of the locations was obtained from six partial grades in the following criteria: drought risk level, plant production structure at a selected location, suitability of the land for irrigation, investment costs of irrigation system per unit area, presence of young farmers and unemployment rate. The best option for the construction of an irrigation system is location 1 in Istria County, primarily because of the favourable structure of plant production with a high share of labour-intensive crops, characterized by a favourable ratio of additional revenue and costs in irrigation conditions.

Ce travail applique une méthode multicritère de prise de décision et de classement commerciale: le processus de hiérarchie analytique. Le classement général des endroits a été obtenu à partir de six notes partielles dans les catégories suivantes: niveau de risque de sécheresse, structure de production végétale à un emplacement sélectionné, adéquation du terrain pour l'irrigation, coûts d'investissement du système d'irrigation par unité de surface, présence de jeunes agriculteurs et taux de chômage.

“…Only two other European countries have more water per capita than Croatia—Norway and Iceland. According to this report, Croatia annually supplies 32 800 m 3 of renewable drinking water per capita and is therefore ranked among the 30 countries richest in water worldwide (Zekić et al, 2014).…”
