Based on these unpleasant facts, improving wise water policy and strategies that would promote water use efficiency has been put in the priorities of Iran water resources management plans.

45 years ago: The available fresh water per capita in Iran was ½ of the world average in
the early years of 1960
15 years ago: The available fresh water per capital in Iran was 1/3 (one third) of the
worlds related average.
In next 20 years: The per capita of available fresh water in Iran would be ¼ (one
fourth) of the world’s related average.
Less than 10 years in the future Some parts of the country would be encountered
with somehow water crisis conditions.

The country's population has increased about 8 times
during the last 80 years and it has got from 10 millions in
1920 to more than 78 millions in 2015. At present Iran is
the 17th most populated countries in the world and based
on the data presented in UN it will be classified as one of
the 10 most populated regions in the world by the end of
2050. Therefore the need for water has been increased
but still the quantity of water is not adequate.
Population Growth and Water Scarcity

The average annual precipitation is estimated to be 250 mm
and the range varies from 50 mm in some parts of the central
water basin to more than 1600 mm in some coastal areas
near the Caspian Sea. Meanwhile with respect to the average
annual precipitation in the world with average rainfall of
more than 830 mm, Iran is classified among the semi-arid
and arid countries. Still the main source of water resources
throughout the country is annual precipitation.

Water Resources Potentials
400 BCM • Average annual precipitation
130 BCM • Renewable water resources
270 BCM • Average annual evaporation
92 BCM • Surface currents
38 BCM • Seepage to alluvial aquifers
According to studies carried out for formulation of the Iran Water Comprehensive Plan, the main characteristics of annual precipitation and its conversion to water resources are shown:

At present Iran is using 70% of the total renewable freshwater while due to the
international norms the upper limit should be 40% of renewable freshwater; it
means that the remaining unexploited renewable fresh water is only 30 % of
the total fresh water resources including environmental basic needs.

Major Challenges and Trends in Iranian Water Resources Management
Unbalanced sequence between demand and supply of water resources
Excessive withdrawal of groundwater resources
Demand Management in accordance to priorities set in the National Water Plan
Assessment of total value and cost of water relevant to each basin
Pollution of water resources and its economic and environmental consequences
Efficiency in water irrigation systems
Risk Management of water related natural disasters ( i.e. drought and flood )
Implementation of National Integrated Water Resources Management
Efficient and equitable water price for various uses
Land use planning
Unaccounted for water (UFW)

1. Which Institutions Are Responsible for the Collection of Routine Weather
Data?
I.R. of Iran Meteorological Organization and its provincial offices (weather data)
Ministry of energy and its provincial Water Management Bureaus (rainfall, evaporation , hydrometric data)
39
2. Is there a Central Processing and Publication of Reference ET in Place?
Not Exactly a Single Center! Several Organizations Do This Separately and Collaborate with Each Other!
Iran Meteorological Organization
Ministry of Agriculture, in a limited number of research pilot fields
Ministry of Energy (and Water Resources), measures Evaporation Data through Pan Evaporation in more than 700 stations nationwide
40
3. What are the Institutions (if any) in the Country that
Provide Remote Sensing (RS) Data (Particularly ET and/or Related Parameters) to the Agencies of
Agriculture, Water Resources and Environment?
Iranian Remote Sensing Center, which provides RS maps of different types including ET maps
Ministry Of I.C.T
Iranian Space Agency
However, this is a new area of activity which needs further strengthening, organizational improvements and coordination not only in the national level, but also in the regional and international levels.
41
4. What are the Major On-going Programmes/projects for RS ET(and/or related parameters) Determination?
Ministry of Energy:
An ongoing pilot project has started in Zayandehrud River’s basin in Central Province of Isfahan, for conducting “Watershed Level, Water Resources Monitoring” under the supervision of Central Water and Wastewater Management Authority of the MOE in the Water Research Institute (also a subsidiary of the MOE), using satellite images
42
5. What are the Spatial Resolutions of the RS ET maps (Pixel Size in meters) ?
MODIS Sat. with a resolution of 500-1000 m
Land Sat. with a resolution of 30 m
Covered Area: All the Country
Pilot Area: Zayandehrud Watershed
6. What are the Temporal Resolutions of
the RS ET maps (Frequency in Days) ?
MODIS Sat. twice a day
Land Sat. once every 16 days
Covered Area: All the Country
Pilot Area: Zayandehrud Watershed
43
44
7. What is the Surface Area (in ha) Covered by RS (or in % of the Total Area)
While the available maps cover the entire country, the ongoing pilot project covers the Zayandehrud Watershed
Total Area in ha: 41,503 Km2 (4,150,300 ha)
As a % of total land: 2.52% of 1,648,195 Km2 of the country’s land mass.
16,649 Km2 mountainous, 24,854 Km2 plains
Rainfall from 1400 mm to 50 mm
8. What do you think is missing to have a complete
operational RS ET I the country and how the regional
collaborative platform can help?
