Read Full License Page 1/8 Abstract Drought is one of the natural disasters that causes a great damage to the human life and natural ecosystems. The main differences are in the gradual effect of drought over a relatively long period; impossibility of accurately determining time of the beginning and end of drought; and geographical extent of the associated effects. On the other hand, lack of a universally accepted denition of drought has added to the complexity of this phenomenon. In the last decade, due to increasing frequency of drought in Iran and reduction of water resources, its consequences have become apparent and have caused problems for planners and managers. Therefore, in this study, to investigate severity and duration of meteorological, hydrological and agricultural drought in Karkheh River basin, regional frequency analysis of standardized precipitation index ( SPI ), standardized evapotranspiration index ( SEI ), standardized runoff index ( SRI ) and standardized soil moisture index ( SSI ) was performed using L- moments.

    Preface Rapid population growth, high agricultural use, and industrial development, coupled with climate changes during the past few decades have caused increasing pressure on land and water resources in almost all regions of the world. The challenge is how to improve the management of water resources for present and future generations. Water resources planning and management tries to meet the water requirements of all water users, although, sometimes this is not possible. Frequently, conflicts among water users arise because water is a scarce and shared resource. The difficulties increase when the systems become large with numerous water users, several types of use, with unequal spatial distribution and such scarcity that water cannot be re-distributed without affecting other users. Nowadays, this seems to be the common pattern of water allocation in large basins. Historically, fragmented water resources management has resulted in degradation of rivers and water bodies in many of the watersheds in the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Thus, integrated water resources management (IWRM), especially in areas facing limited water resources, has become an indispensable approach. The goal of this approach is to balance water availability and demand, human and environmental water requirements, taking into account all available water sources (surface water, groundwater, reclaimed and desalinated water). IWRM mandates a trans-sectoral approach and developing sustainable water resources management strategies with through a systems approach. IWRM is going through integrated appraisal that deals with identifying trends and processes governing water resources benefiting the decision makers who are challenged with developing short- and long-term smanagement strategies under uncertainty.
