The construction of waterway that known the "Iranrood" is a major project linking the Mazandaran Sea with the Persian Gulf. This article studies the importance of the project of connecting the Caspian Sea to the southern waters. Initial proposals were made in the early years of the 1950s and plans were reviewed for this purpose. Then in the post-1979 year revolution, this issue was again discussed. The distance to reach the north and south waters is over 1,400 kilometers, which is very high; it stands on the shore of the Alborz Mountains that is like a strong barrier to dig the canal; The water level of the Mazandaran Sea is lower than the high seas, and if directly connected, many coastal areas of northern Iran will be submerged; eventually, much funding will be needed to implement the project. This article discusses the design problems and suggested solutions and the advantages and disadvantages of implementing them.

Achieving to participation of farmers will not be achievable without considering an operational package that simultaneously encompasses three pillars of water, namely "government", "market" and "local communities". So that by understanding the economic conditions of farmers (stemming from the market), the role of the state in the market institution becomes pathology and recognition, and then could be a meaningful and legal relationship between the three pillars of water governance. To clarify the role of local communities in reducing the water crisis, it is better to have a rational and meaningful link to the governance of the water (Ministry of Energy-Jihad-AgricultureAgricultural Bank-parliament-Judiciary) and to work together. It can add to the efficiency of the third pillar, the market institution (supply and demand of agricultural products and inputs). Fortunately, the interaction of these three pillars in the context of water governance has been extremely ineffective and has created bad water governance in the country.

In this study, the process of acquiring and exchanging knowledge among experts and managers of Fars Regional Water Company has been investigated. The research method is descriptive. The study population is composed of 92 experts from Fars Regional Water Company. Data collection tool was a questionnaire based on Beckowitz and Williams model with 5-point Likert scale. SPSS18 software was used for data analysis. The results showed that according to the staff, the “knowledge acquisition process” in the organization at the mean level of the mean score of the “knowledge acquisition” items is 2.9 which is not significantly different from the criterion score (3) (p> 0.05). But the level of knowledge exchange in the organization is weak. The mean score of the mean of each spectrum item was 2.5 which was lower than the criterion score (3) and was significantly different (p <0.05). The results are consistent with the above methods and theories. Therefore, the main challenge for implementing knowledge management in the organization is the knowledge exchange status. Given the positive attitude managers have towards knowledge acquisition and exchange, they can play a key role in changing employees' attitudes in these two processes.
