تأثیر مدیریت مصرف آب بر فرونشست زمین در دشت شهرکرد

Incompatibility with nature and the environment around us and using more than the capacity of nature, especially underground water resources, removal of vegetation, air, water, and soil pollution contribute to climate disturbances, weakening of aquifers, and subsidence. Knowing and informing about the past and present situation can help in the management and sustainable use of water resources with the aim of preventing land subsidence. The use of the water balance equation, the estimate of the relevant indicators, and statistical analysis, that, The Rainfall Anomalies Index (RAI) has reached -7.31 and the Standard Water Level Index (SWI) has reached -1.598. Which is caused by the negative water balance of Shahrekord plain since 2007. The standard index of water level of Shahrekord aquifer has reached -1.6 in 2021 and the groundwater level has increased from 2073 m in 2007 to 2053 m in 2021. Although the annual precipitation increase trend is negative, its severity is less than the amount of groundwater trend. This issue has caused groundwater discharge and ground subsidence in several places of the aquifer. Therefore, culturalization and implementation of optimal and sustainable consumption management of water resources with executive support and providing some of the water balance deficit in the basin is necessary.
