This study presents a novel method for selecting irrigation canals for rehabilitation based on implementation priorities. The method integrates factors such as canal condition, water demand, environmental considerations, and socioeconomic aspects to identify canals that require immediate attention. The study outlines a step-by-step process and discusses its potential benefits in guiding decision-making for effective canal rehabilitation programs. The methodology explores beneficiaries’ satisfaction with their canal performance and applies the “project execution priority index” concept to the network of understudy irrigation canals. Results show that only one of the 11 canals with the highest priority was rehabilitated, while five were executed despite being included in the second priority. Three canals were implemented, and these canals deserve the third priority, indicating the success of the “Project Execution Priority Index” concept in prioritizing field implementation processes. This approach can guide decision-making for effective canal rehabilitation programs and improve the current situation.
