An Analysis of Water Distribution and Consumption Management in the Irrigation Network of Zayande Rood (The Right Side of Diversion Dam of Nekoo Abad during 1991-2001)

The lands on the right side of the Nekooabad Diversion Dam are located at a place near the upstream part of the Zayandeh Rud river’ basin, and due to this position it is at first thought that in principle it should not face any shortage of water, and water distribution management seems to be a simple matter. However, with any change in the amount of available water, including occurrence of drought, the effectiveness of implemented management and planning is challenged. The most important water resources used in the area concerned are surface waters (water of the Zayandeh Rud river through canal) and underground waters (surface, half-deep and deep wells).
