Abstract
How to finance and prepare the necessary executive budget to carry out infrastructure projects and exploit their products and services is currently one of the most important challenges facing developing countries. In this regard, the present study has been reviewed with the aim of reviewing financing methods and ways of exploiting development projects (case study of the plans of the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources Management). The research method of the present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of implementation method. The statistical population of the present study included contractors, consultants and employers who are experts and experts working in the field of water resources basin, 50 of whom were selected by non-random sampling method and purposefully as a statistical sample. The data collection tool in the present study was a questionnaire and for data analysis, one-sample t-test and Friedman, and SPSS 24 software were used. Based on the research findings, the most important strategies for exploiting development projects are as follows: 1) Improving the quality of the work factor, 2) Improving the relationship between the manager and employees, and 3) Improving the use of technological efficiency. Therefore, the best way to exploit water development projects has been to improve the quality of the work factor.
