In this study, some parameters that can affect project irrigation efficiency in irrigation schemes operated and constructed by State Hydraulic Works (DSI) in the Büyük Menderes basin, Turkey, were selected, and the effects on the project irrigation efficiency of these parameters were studied. The selected parameters are irrigation rate, density of irrigation facilities, average farm size, density of distribution scheme, and density of personnel per unit area. In order to determine the possible effects on the project irrigation efficiency of these parameters, SPSS-15 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-15) software was used. With this method, partial correlation coefficients related to selected parameters were calculated, and degrees of relationship and possible effects on project irrigation efficiency were determined. Also, in order to determine the parameter values that may make standardize the project irrigation efficiency, parameter coefficients were calculated. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
