Geomorphological parameters are the most determinant and effective factors of quality of water resources especially on the surface waters like rivers and lakes. The physical and chemical quality of waters can be changed by the lithological structure of this basin، kind of sediments transported to the river and the ecological indices such as human activities like agriculture، industry and urbanization. Combination of these factors should be considered as ecogeomorphology. The effect of affected parameters on chemical water quality of Kor river in the upper lands of Doroodzan dam basin and its lake was investigated through this research. Variation of geological formation such as limestone and erosible structure in the basin and also the role of run off in different sediment transport to Kor river، due to topography and basin slope، affect the quality of Doroodzan dam lake. Also the effect of development and the variation of water uses، the growth of population and the increasing rate of the waste water in the agriculture، urban and rural activities are applied to the research.

Sustainable Development is the newest slogan of environmental movements in the world and primarily emphasizes aspects of environmental and ecological growth and development of countries in the zonal and international level; its main purpose is to prevent the decline of future generations’ potentiality to fulfill its needs and to provide and to secure the natural and environmental resources of the posterity as well as new generations. Due to the importance of Sustainable Development in the world and in the arid regions، this research evaluates and studies Sustainable Development in Ardakan city in its ecological dimension. In this dimension، regarding the literature of Sustainable Development and by seeing to the key themes suggested by CSD، these indicators are selected and are primarily compared with the urban areas of country by Wilcoxon Test. In the second stage، the differences of development within 17 areas of Ardakan are determined by Mooris inequality Index. The findings of this research indicate a meaningful difference between Ardakan and urban areas of the country and also the unsustainability in Ardakan areas is revealed to us. It looks that measures like hydrologic resource development، preserving underground waters، expanding urban green spaces would be useful for decreasing variations.
