Summary. Indigenous agricultural knowledge can address water scarcity in dry regions. This study examined factors affecting indigenous knowledge and sustainable water management in Iran's Sistan region through interviews with 40 experts and a fuzzy hierarchy analysis. Educational extension emerged as the top priority factor (0.37 weight), followed by social factors, government support, economics, and farmer knowledge. The authors recommend strengthening local indigenous knowledge and promoting modern irrigation techniques.
