One of the tools for managing drought in pistachio orchards is awareness of the components that determine the vulnerability of this phenomenon. The aim of this research is to examine the level of farmers' perception of drought and to introduce appropriate strategies for adapting to drought in pistachio orchards. The present research can be classified as descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and as field-based in terms of the data collection method. In this context, the indicators and variables of the study have been extracted and served as the basis for designing the research tool, namely the questionnaire. In the field study phase, the required data were collected using the researcher-made questionnaire and field observations. The statistical sample included 130 major owners from the areas of Anar, Rafsanjan, Nough, Koshkoeyeh, and Kabutar Khan, and the study was conducted in the year 1400. The results showed that in examining the economic impacts and the level of farmers' understanding of the phenomenon of drought, water conflict (55.4 percent) created the greatest understanding for the farmers. Farmers in those areas fully recognized the shortage of surface water (100 percent), and changing traditional irrigation methods (66.2 percent) was the result of farmers' understanding of the phenomenon of drought and their efforts to cope with it. Buying water and land in other locations with an understanding of 50.8 percent and agricultural product insurance at 78.5 percent are effective strategies for farmers to cope with drought, which can be recommended with the adoption of appropriate policies.
