The purpose of this study is to calculate the economic footprint of Birjand's main products in 2016. In this study, to study the water footprint and accounting water footprint of agricultural products, nine major products in Birjand including barley, wheat, saffron, vegetables, jelly products, cotton, alfalfa, jujube and barberry were studied and these indexes were calculated. The results of this study showed that the total water footprint in the production of main products was estimated to be 22 Mm3 in 2016.
