Abstract :

The water shed basin of Garou plain is located in Makran Zone. National conditions such as climate and geography have affected the quality and quantity of the regional water resources. Over exploration of water resources as well as recent draughts, have drastically decreased the amount of water in the region. For this reason for most of agriculture is around the banks of Garou village.  The main objective of this study is to explore the basic factor, particularly geomorphologic and human features which are effective on decreasing the quality and quantity of water resources of Garou plains as well as determining the risk of draught and the impact on decreasing drought risk in the region. To achieve the objectives of the project, geomorphologic features of Garou plain water shed basin and impacts on the quality and quantity of geomorphologic water resources. Methodology of this study was based on an analytic and descriptive approach. The instruments used to conduct the study were topographic geological maps as well as statistical data acquired from hydrometric stations in the region. Moreover, direct observations, interview, and data analysis have been used. The result of the study showed that geomorphologic features of the water shed basin of plain, from applied viewpoint, have directly and indirectly affected water resources because of human activities particularly in agricultural stations. Considering managerial perspective, it is necessary to observe geomorphologic principle while exploring the water resources for short and long-term programs.
