1 - Survey the role of good governance in managing the water crisis of the Zayandeh Rood river

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.

This study aims to comprehensively understand the lived experiences of Isfahan citizens amid the city's water crisis. The methodology employed for this study was qualitative research, utilizing thematic analysis for data interpretation. A total of 27 Interviews were conducted with Isfahan citizens, focusing on their subjective experiences regarding the water crisis in the Zayande-Rood river. Data collection utilized a non-homogeneous sampling method. Predetermined criteria concerning credibility, reliability, and objec-tivity were applied to validate the findings. Data coding and theory-based analysis were performed simul-taneously during interviews. The data interpretation comprised basic, organizing, and inclusive coding stages. Analyzing the data revealed key categories, notably the impact on citizens’ quality of life under socio-environmental conditions, considered as an inclusive category. The subjective feeling of happiness derived from environmental conditions (the sense of citizens' happiness and satisfaction through the envi-ronment) and changes in the lifestyle of citizens were reconstructed as organizing categories. The main sub-organizing categories reconstructed in this study include changes in citizens’ lifestyle, alterations in leisure activities, social interactions, extending citizens' environmental concerns, Citizens' dissatisfaction with government performance, changes in sense of emotional well-being of citizens, Citizens' dissatisfaction with weather conditions, and decreasing satisfaction with Urbanization. Primarily, citizens consider drought and water shortage to be the main reasons for the reduced quality of (socio-environmental) lifestyle in Isfahan. Manuscript profile -

Investigating the water crisis in different areas is necessary to predict the defensive measures needed in management and to prevent social consequences. The present study was conducted using GIS and participatory analysis of factors affecting the creation and intensification of water crisis in Boenzahra city. For this purpose, first information layers including drought, soil categories, rate of evapotranspiration, average annual rainfall, surface geological outcrops, distance from permanent rivers, discharge rate or discharge of deep wells The user was prepared and standardized using a triangular fuzzy function, and the final layer of water crisis areas was generated using a linear weighted integration function. The results showed that the three main components of water discharge through deep wells, evapotranspiration and population density in the city are the most important factors involved in creating and exacerbating the water shortage crisis. Also, three water crisis floors were identified in the city, the middle risk class including the northern parts of Boenzahra city (area of 1016 square kilometers and about 34% of the total area of the city), the second floor or critical areas of water resources Which covers most of the eastern and central areas of Boenzahra city (39% of the city area, which is equal to 1155 square kilometers) and the third floor or areas in crisis (its area is about 830 square kilometers and 27% of the city area).

Grounded theory methodology was used in this study.The study population consisted of activists of 533 public wells in Soltanieh county. Data in this study was collected by using semi-structured interviews with a sample of activists in the collective management of wells in Soltanieh County. Content analysis of interviews showed 57 open coding and 20 subcategoris in connection with challenges of participatory management of wells. Finally, two thematic categories were identified including procedural challenges and outcomes. The procedural challenges are the five axes of social barriers, knowledge and attitude weakness, financial barriers, reduced water reserves and weaknesses in government implementation. These challenges also have negative consequences for agriculture and the rural community. These are unwilling to equipping the farm with pressurized irrigation, willingness to dig an illegal well and doing office work with bribes. Manuscript profile -
