Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens. -

The main purpose of the project is to foster integrated approaches to managing water resources at basin, irrigation system and farm levels, and thereby contribute to promoting and sustaining agriculture in the country. The project is currently using the Zayendeh Rud basin in Esfahan province as a pilot study site. This research report series is intended as a means of sharing the results and findings of the project with a view to obtaining critical feedback and suggestions that will lead to strengthening the project outputs.

Economic Impact Assessment of Water in the Zayandeh Rud Basin, Iran
Economic Impact Assessment of Water in the Zayandeh Rud Basin, Iran Rahman Khoshakhlagh University of Isfahan, Iran Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture Working Paper [Non-edited document] The main goal of this research is flush pointing major economic issues related to the economic impact assessment of water availability in the Zayandeh Rud basin in Iran. It goes without saying that economic assessments would start with considering water as a scarce commodity or a resource and then magnifying the intensity of scarcity along with variables or factors affecting the level of scarcity occurred or predicted to occur, for some determined span of time in the future. Having magnified the intensity of water scarcity the economics tools to deal with water scarcity is analyzed, such that goals defined i.e. food security and environmental concern along with growth are met. To show the intensity of water scarcity there are three main indices being used in the natural resource economics field namely: unit cost of providing water, market price or its shadow price, and rental value of water rights which include value paid to have access to the use of one cubic meter of water for duration of a year. However, in this research due to the lack of appropriate information on the rental value of water rights the other two indices are being used to evaluate the intensity of water scarcity in Zayandeh Rud. Before getting into the ways that can be used to measure economic scarcity of water we need to clarify the right economic meanings of the terms quantity of water demanded, water demand, quantity of water supplied, and water supplied. -

This research describes the challenges of Isfahan ecotourism and explores the opportunities in this city. The research is a developing research. Data gathered through interviews, field work, using of different web sites, magazines, e-books, theses and scientific reports. This research is worked on the basis of a model and described that there must be a governmental strategic plan and framework on the basis of this model. The research is a qualitative and descriptive. Data gathered through archival records and interviews and direct observation. From conducting this research some important findings explored. It seems that as a result of findings, Isfahan province enjoys appropriate situations and advantages for developing ecotourism but they have not been introduced in previous years in a proper manner and there is not desired spatial arrangement and planning and linkage between them. Performed actions are limited to preservation and maintenance and restoration of a few historical constructions in Isfahan. -

Agroclimatic Zones Map of Iran Explanatory Notes
AGROCLIMATIC ZONES MAP OF IRAN EXPLANATORY NOTES E. De Pauw1, A. Ghaffari2, V. Ghasemi3 1 Agroclimatologist/ Research Project Manager, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo Syria 2 Director-General, Drylands Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Maragheh, Iran 3 Head of GIS/RS Department, Soil and Water Research Institute (SWRI), Tehran, Iran INTRODUCTION The agroclimatic zones map of Iran has been produced to as one of the outputs of the joint DARI-ICARDA project “Agroecological Zoning of Iran”. The objective of this project is to develop an agroecological zones framework for targeting germplasm to specific environments, formulating land use and land management recommendations, and assisting development planning. In view of the very diverse climates in this part of Iran, an agroclimatic zones map is of vital importance to achieve this objective. METHODOLOGY Spatial interpolation A database was established of point climatic data covering monthly averages of precipitation and temperature for the main stations in Iran, covering the period 1973-1998 (Appendix 1, Tables 2-3). These quality-controlled data were obtained from the Organization of Meteorology, based in Tehran. From Iran 126 stations were accepted with a precipitation record length of at least 20 years, and 590 stations with a temperature record length of at least 5 years. The database also included some precipitation and temperature data from neighboring countries, leading to a total database of 244 precipitation stations and 627 temperature stations. The ‘thin-plate smoothing spline’ method of Hutchinson (1995), as implemented in the ANUSPLIN software (Hutchinson, 2000), was used to convert this point database into ‘climate surfaces’. -

Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran * Correspondence Author. Email: [email protected] Received 14 June 2007; accepted 1 December 2007 Abstract: This article lists 99 articles on distribution of wild birds in Iran, which appeared between 1876 and 1977 and which were published by authors writing in European languages. Each paper has a reference number and is supplied with annotations, giving the localities and time of year where the bird observations had been made. These localities are also listed on a separate website (www.wesca.net/podoces/podoces.html), supplied with coordinates and the reference number. With help of these coordinates and the original publications an historical atlas of bird distribution in Iran can be made. A few preliminary examples of such maps are included. Many authors also collected bird specimens in Iran, either to support their identifications or in order to enravel subspecies taxonomy of the birds of Iran. The more important natural history museums containing study specimens from Iran are listed.
