In this study, it is intended to identify the most suitable type of drinking water for the household. In order to this goal, a face-to-face meeting with 400 people between the ages of 17 and 75 who live in the Iğdır or Central District has been made. The study asked the consumer and his family’s socio-economic and demographic questions and questions about drinking and drinking water consumption. In determining the number of surveys, the simple random sample method based on the main mass ratio and the best suitable type of drinking water was used by the analytical hierarchy process (AHS) method. According to the results of the study, 38% of households used bottle water, 35% used net water, 13% used neighborhood water or resource water, 13% used municipal net water without resource equipment, and 1% used resource water with resource equipment. The average monthly water bill for households is 40.14 TL and bottle water spending is 86.42 TL. The daily drinking water per person is 2.27 L and 1.03 L is a bottle of water. 32.36% of the households were found to prefer bottle water, 27.56% refined water, 21.27% resource water such as fountains and wells, and 18.80% of the municipal network water according to the price, hygiene, mineral, taste and transport criteria. It is believed that the results of this study will lead to the municipal authorities that supply and use drinking water to the Iğdır province and to the companies that supply drinking water and bottle water.
