Abstract :
Many countries around the world are facing important problems in the field of water resources manage-ment. Due to reasons such as corruption, lack of civil society and inefficiency of the administrative structure in developing countries, and issues such as unsustainable consumption patterns, excessive use of resources, etc., have made the water governance system face challenges in industrialized or developed countries. In Iran, the problem of water shortage has become critical, serious and widespread, which has involved many sectors, including economy, society, environment, agriculture, etc. Because water govern-ance refers to all the activities that are involved in the policy-making and decision-making process regarding the development and management of water resources, and It also represents a change in gov-ernment-society relations in countries that have fundamentally developed water-related activities, There-fore, according to the current conditions and the global water crisis, the necessity of a fundamental change in the management of water resources is inevitable. The results of the research show that the water crisis in Iran, especially in the case of the Zayandeh River, is caused by the lack of water management and neglect of the role of water governance. On the other hand, good governance, as a type of governance that guarantees public welfare and individual rights, has indicators that are considered as the basic foundations needed to evaluate the state of water governance in each region. The Zayandeh River of Isfahan, has experienced an intensification of the drying process every year more than the previous year, which has had several consequences, and the solution to the water crisis in this region is to transition to good governance, efficient and compatible with historical, cultural, social and economic conditions of the region. This article was prepared in a review method with the help of library and internet sources, and its purpose is to examine the role of good governance in manageming the water crisis of the Zayandeh Rood River in Isfahan.
