Abstract Groundwater (GW) plays a key role in water supply basins. As global warming and climate change affect groundwater level (GWL), it is important to predict for planning managing resources. This study investigates the GWL of Yazd-Ardakan Plain basin Iran base period 1979–2005 predicts periods 2020–2059 2060–2099. Lagged temperature rainfall are used as inputs hybrid standalone artificial ...

Excessive population growth and high water demands have significantly increased extractions from deep semi-deep wells in the arid regions of Iran. This has negatively affected quality different areas. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is a suitable tool to assess such impacts. study used WQI fuzzy hierarchical analysis process index (FAHP-WQI) investigate status 96 agricultural Yazd-Ardakan Plain, ...

Groundwater extraction rates exceeding recharge are occurring throughout Iran to sustain industrial and agricultural activities, resulting in land deformation many areas, particularly the Yazd-Ardakan Plain (YAP) central Iran's dry desert regions. In this study, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series analysis statistical models applied characterize controls on subsidence Y...

in order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. in fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. in this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...

The Yazd-Ardakan basin in Central Iran has two separated aquifers. The shallow unconfined aquifer is supplies 40 Qanats. The deep saturated confined aquifer is the main water storage. Due to over-withdrawal, water table has been decreasing during last 25 years. Recent study shows that the shortage of the aquifer is about 16 meters and land subsidence is 0.5 1.2 meters. Long deep cracks are foun...

diversity in natural aspects for relaxation, entertainment as well as recreational opportunities associated with walking, sightseeing, camping near wells, qanats, and springs to spend leisure time and to enjoy landscapes, represents the recreational values which can be perceived due to surface water limitations. recreational value of water includes the benefits derived from those who leave wate...
