  Water, as one of the main components for life, affects human security if it is lacking or reduced. The challenges and conflicts of people for the right and access to water resources at local and national levels with each other and even the war between governments at regional and international levels show the important role of water. The tensions caused by the lack of water in the central regions of Iran, such as Isfahan and Kerman, in recent years, indicate the insecurity and sense of danger for the water resources of these provinces. Kerman province, with an area of over 180,000 square kilometers, is the largest province in the south of the country. With an average annual rainfall of 129 mm, this province is considered one of the dry regions in the country. The main goal of this article is to Investigating the water security situation in Kerman province. The main question raised is what is the water security situation in Kerman province? The hypothesis that is raised in response to this question is that water security in Kerman province is not in a good condition. This article has been done using the field method (questionnaire) and descriptive-analytical approach. The sample size was 384 people, which was obtained using Cochran's formula. The results of the findings show that according to the water transfer plans and water management patterns planned to improve the water resources situation in Kerman province, water security in this province is not in a good condition.

  Background and Objective: Rivers water quality study can be a great help to water-resource management and planning. This study was conducted to investigate the water quality of Chehelchay River using the IRWQISC. Method: In this study, water samples were collected from seven different stations along Chehelchay River during a period of 6 months. In order to use IRWQISC, the physicochemical and biological some parameters were measured. After calculating the IRWQISC values for each station, the changes in the IRWQISC values were investigated along river. Then, the results of IRWQISC were compared drinking water and agriculture water standards. Findings: The results of this study showed that Chehelchay River water was situated in a relatively good quality category based on the IRWQISC. IRWQISC diminished in the flow direction from the upstream sampling point to the outlet of basin resulting in a reduction in water quality of river. Results also showed that there is a direct relationship between IRWQISC and the rate of discharge so that the value of IRWQISC increases with increasing the rate of discharge. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the average IRWQISC index was better than summer season in spring. Flow changes and IRWQISC index indicate a direct relationship between them, with a slight increase in the rate of fluctuation. Comparison of parameters used in IRWQISC with drinking water and agriculture water standards showed the Chehelchay River water is suitable only for agriculture uses and it cannot be used for drinking purposes. Results showed that water purification must be performed to remove fecal coliform and reduce turbidity of water before using as a drinking water source. Manuscript profile

  Drought and climate change phenomena have severe negative impacts on natural vegetation and agricultural section in Central Iran during the last decades. Cloud seeding is one of the efficient methods to reduce the effects of climate change. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of clouds seeding on rainfall in Fars province. November, December, February and April months in the water year of 2010-2009, selected as the prone month of precipitation in Iran, were evaluated cloud seeding projects in Fars province. Historical regression was used to evaluate the cloud seeding project. In the first step, raster monthly precipitation maps for each month of year in the period was 34 years (1977-2010) were plotted using the Kriging method to measure rainfall amounts of each year. Then, the volume of precipitation in April, February, January, and November in the target area stations were calculated and used as a dependent variable. Next, precipitation time series for each month of the period of 1977-2010 in the control area stations were calculated and entered into the regression as independent variables. Correlation between the volume of rainfall in both regions (target and control) were analyzed. Then, expected rainfall in the region was estimated and its confidence was determined using statistical methods. Comparing expected and actual rainfall, percentage of changes in precipitation due to clouds seeding in Fars province were determined. Results showed an increase of about 15% in precipitation in Fars province during the four months of the water year of 2009-2010. Manuscript profile

  رشد و توزیع مجدد جمعیت و تغییر الگوهای تولید و مصرف، دو عاملی هستند که آسیب­پذیری یک منطقه، بخش­های اقتصادی و یا گروه­های جمعیتی را نسبت به منابع آب تعریف می­کنند. تحقیق حاضر بر اساس تجربیات سایر کشورها پیشنهاداتی جهت کاهش مصرف آب ارائه و با توجه به شرایط شهر مشهد میزان تاثیرگذاری آن ارائه شده است. همچنین بر اساس تئوری بازی­ها، شروط لازم برای رسیدن به ائتلافی پایدار ارائه شده است. بر اساس نتایج حاصله با اصلاح خطوط آبرسانی فرسوده می­توان از هدر رفت حدود 35 تا 52 میلیون مترمکعب آب تصفیه شده در سال جلوگیری نمود؛ هرچند این راهکار مستلزم برنامه­ریزی گسترده، صرف هزینه­های گزاف و نیز فرایندی زمان­بر است. در صورتیکه بتوان در 10 الی 20 درصد از مصارف شهری، پساب تصفیه شده را جایگزین آب تصفیه شده نمود، در نهایت می­توان حدود 5/17 تا 35 میلیون مترمکعب در سال آب شرب را ذخیره کرد. راهکارهای عنوان شده نظیر راهکارهای آموزشی، فرهنگ­سازی، به منظور کاهش مصرف آب در بخش خانگی (بزرگترین مصرف­کننده آب تصفیه شده با 81 درصد) راهکارهایی کوتاه مدت و نسبتاً کم هزینه­تری هستند اگر این راهکارها بطور متوسط منجر به کاهش مصرف در بخش خانگی به میزان 15 تا 20 درصد شود، در نهایت 21 تا 28 میلیون در سال صرفه­جویی در مصرف آب شهری خواهیم داشت. در حال حاضر تنها 20 درصد از آب مورد نیاز در فضای سبز از منابع آب شرب تأمین می­شود که این میزان حدود چهار میلیون مترمکعب در سال می­باشد. بنابراین با جایگزین نمودن این میزان با آب غیرشرب می­تواند سالیانه چهار میلیون مترمکعب آب شرب ذخیره نمود. در صورتی که راهکارهایی به منظور کاهش مصرف در بخش صنعتی و تجاری موثر واقع شده و حدود 10 تا 20 درصد کاهش مصرف آب در این دو بخش را به دنبال داشته باشند، در نهایت منجر به صرفه­جویی میزان 5/1 تا 3 میلیون مترمکعب آب در سال خواهند شد.

  In terms of water quantity and quality is the most important part of an ecosystem. Reduced both the quantity andquality of water in a large negative impact on ecosystems and biodiversity threaten leaving Natural food sourcesand effects on organisms and causes irreparable damage, Knowledge and information about water rights and theapplication of specific rules to regulate the management macro environment seems essential. Therefore, based onthis study on the lake among the largest watershed of the country is carried out in terms of locationgeographically in northwestern Iran between East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan longitude 44 degrees 14minutes to 47 degrees 53 minutes east and 35 degrees 40 minutes north latitude to 38 degrees and 30 minutes islocatedThe main reasons for studies on slow dry lake-level changes in temperature and precipitation in theregion of 79-83 were studiedAnd consequently the rate of temperature change is not so drastic drop in waterlevel can cause dry lakes and rainfall of 79-83 years of upward growthDuring the same period, but the waterlevel of the lake has suffered a significant drop. Check water level fluctuations indicates that in 1346 the lowestlevel to the height of 1273/86 (m) free water level is reached, If the water level over the past thirteen years to1272/00 (m) about 6/20 mm reduced. In the present study, we believe that the gradual construction of 72 damscatchment basins with the average rate 4/5 billion cubic meters, the lake provides a huge change. Other factors,such as dam construction, the double-pass martyr station in front of the natural cycle of water under stirring thenatural order of living plant material suspended in the water cycle, the water creates many changes in theecosystem. The indiscriminate digging of the wells during the past seventeen years (91-74) of approximately 650thousand to 336 thousand Ring has increased among the factors that makes it believe that responsible decisionsin the coming years factors inland lake with a rejectUndoubtedly, completely separate the lake into northern andsouthern even completely dry lake will follow.

  The significant reduction in the amount and quality of the water resources over a short period of time indicates the inefficiency of the water policies in Iran. Despite of rainfall, the water problem in Iran traces back to water policies and policymaking in this area. The problem of water governance is so hidden in unrealistic views that it is difficult to understand its true depth. This paper aims to investigate the factors of inefficiency of water resources policy in Iran and seeks to find appropriate answers to two questions: "On what basis has the country's water resources policy been formed over the past four decades?" and “what are the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of this policy? This paper is qualitative and utilizes inferential methodology. Its theoretical foundations consist of policy research ideas and their impact on the policymaking arena. Findings of the article show that Iran's water resources policy over the past four decades has been based on responding to short-term and cross-cutting needs with the aim of developing the agricultural sector and the main reason for the inefficiency of this policy should be sought in the lack of scientific approach in the process of water resources policymaking.
