Adaptive land and water management: A regional action plan for roodasht to cope with climate change

Abstract

Sustainable water and land use management in the Zayandeh Rud basin are challenged by climate change, population growth, and unfavorable socioeconomic conditions (Gohari et al. 2013; Torfe et al. 2017; Salemi and Murray-Rust 2002). In the closed basin, where every drop of water is used multiple times, the basin-wide problems are magnified in the agricultural areas at the tail end of the river course (Molle and Mamanpoush 2012).
