Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

water is one of the most valuable natural resources in human societies which is demanded by different parts of the society, and as one of the main inputs of production in agriculture has a special role in the agricultural sustainable development. nowadays, the consumption of water is more than the supply, and its highest consumption is in agriculture. this study scrutinized the role of manageme...

The prediction of river, s discharge rate is one of the important issues in water resources engineering. This issue is very important for the planning, management, and policy making in water resources management, especially in the country like Iran, with limited water resources in line the economic and environmental development. Awareness of how the relationship between rainfall and run...

water is a very important vital resource for all living organisms. a world without water can not be imagined. however the world is running out of its most precious resource. water resources must be protected completely before the end of life on earth, so today management of water resources has become the main agenda topic globally. effective protection can be provided by sustainable water manag...

the arid zone encompasses land that has an imbalance between precipitation and losses through evaporation. globally, arid zones comprise large part of many countries in the mid-latitudes in both the northern and the southern hemispheres. both australia and iran are countries with a large arid zone. this negative water balance in the arid zone affects the type of land use in these countries. at ...

Nowadays, the water supply and water demand management are the main issues in water resources planning. It is more important in a river basin with a complex system facing with droughts, climate changes, inter-basin water transfer and operational and under study dams. In this paper, for water resources planning in a river basin and reducing the difference between water resources and water demand...

Soil conservation is the only known way to protect the productive land. In country like Ethiopia, where droughts and floods cause food scarcity problem, soil and water conservation not only increases crop yield, but also prevents further deterioration of land. Soil and water conservation preserve soil moisture and drain water sustainably to avoid soil erosion and depletion of soil nutrients. So...

Short-term water demand modeling plays a key role in urban water resources planning and management. The importance of demand prediction is even greater in countries like Iran with frequent periods of drought. Short-term water demand estimation is useful for planning and management of water and wastewater facilities such as pump scheduling, control of reservoirs and tanks volume, pressure manage...

application of agent based model in simulation of stakeholder’s behavior is slightly a new method for modeling of complicated systems that include autonomous agents interacting with each other. recent numerical achievements have made the applications of agent based models possible in various fields. these applications range from modeling of human progress and destruction of past civilizations t...

Water is the most important resource; it utilized largely in agricultural production and fundamental to ensuring global food security. This study aims assess sustainable water management interventions their impact on farm economy. To increase productivity, adaptations that have been proposed are high-efficiency irrigation systems, drought-resistant varieties, substitution of water-intensive cro...
