Organizing a viable irrigation system in the context of climate change at the level of Romanian agriculture is a priority. Currently, only 12% of the total agricultural area is irrigated. In order to benefit from irrigation, Romanian farmers must be members of the Organization of the Irrigation Water Users (OUAI), assigned to the area in which they own land or conclude seasonal contracts. A survey addressed to the OUAI in Galati County attempted to identify the relations between the members that can lead to the association not only for irrigation, but also for agricultural activities. An analysis of the data obtained from the survey was carried out, using the „fuzzy set comparative qualitative analysis” (fsQCA) method, in the context of land fragmentation, in conjunction with supporting national and European programs for the association and development of the irrigation infrastructure. The results of the study are important because it reflects the main issues highlighted by the farmers in the analyzed area regarding the association.
