بحران منابع آب زیرزمینی، برخی چالش‌های موجود از حرف تا عمل

Water is a limited resource in growing demand. The increase in population and continued economic development with limited resources has led to the water resources and infrastructure of many countries failing to respond to the growing demand. In this study, the groundwater reclamation and balancing plan from its beginning until now was examined based on the available results. For this purpose, some related documents were also examined. The obtained results show that the initial vision before starting the groundwater restoration and balancing plan was that within five years, the volume deficit of the reservoir will stop and within two decades this deficit will be compensated. After a year of starting the project, everyone involved realized that the damage that happened over decades cannot be stopped all at once in five years. Despite the unfavorable situation of underground water resources, the solution of the existing conditions has not yet reached the scale of international experiences. Based on what was stated above, by stopping about six percent of water consumption in the agricultural sector, the amount of water that can be saved is equivalent to over-absorption from the groundwater table, and therefore this deficit will be compensated to some extent
