This paper intends to acquaint the readers with some of the famous Iranian historical water monuments. Keywords. Historic – Water – Monuments – Iran – Qanat – Ab anbar – Dam. Structures hydrauliques et gestion de l’eau en Iran : une perspective historique Résumé. L’Iran est situé dans une région aride, semi-aride. La répartition défavorable des eaux de surface a conduit la population iranienne à créer de meilleures conditions d’utilisation d’une ressource aussi vitale que l’eau pour faire face à la demande et aux fluctuations des débits saisonniers annuels. Ce travail vise à faire connaître certains des monuments hydrauliques historiques parmi les plus fameux de l’Iran. Mots-clés. Historique – Eau – Monuments – Iran – Qanat – Ab anbar – Barrage. I - Introduction Iran is located in an arid, semi-arid region. Due to the unfavorable distribution of surface water, to fulfill water demands and fluctuation of yearly seasonal streams, Iranian people have tried to provide a better condition for utilization of water as a vital matter. Iran is located in the south of Asia between 44º 02´ and 63º 20´ eastern longitude and 25º 03´ to 39º 46´ northern latitude. The country covers an area of about 1.648 million km2.

    TECHNICAL NOTE GYPSUM DISSOLUTION EFFECTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A LARGE DAM M. Kiyani*, J. Sadrekarimi and B. Fakhri Department of Civil Engineering, University of Tabriz Postal Code 5166616471, Tabriz, Iran [email protected] – [email protected] – [email protected] *Corresponding Author (Received: March 2, 2007 – Accepted in Revised Form: January 30, 2008) Abstract Upper Gotvand dam is constructed on the Karun River located in the south west of Iran. In this paper, 2D and 3D models of the dam together with the foundation and abutments were constructed and several seepage analyses were carried out. Then the gypsum veins scattered throughout the foundation ground and also the seepage pattern were included in the models, hence the dissolution law of gypsum, was analyzed. It was disclosed that, the discharge fluxes obtained from 2D and 3D analyses are not similar and the discharge flux in 3D model is about 4 times the size of 2D model. Also, the 3D model localizes the phreatic surface some what higher than the 2D model does. This means that the 2D model estimates lower pore water pressure pattern in comparison with the 3D model. These may be attributed to the fact that with 2D model the lateral components of vectors of seepage velocity are ignored. In spite of the fact that the grout curtain is designed to be some 170 meters deep, however, complete dissolving of gypsum will severely increase the discharge flux through the foundation ground.

  • Effect of the Kharkhe Storage Dam on Vulnerability of Downstream Land and the Kharkhe Bondary
    American-Eurasian J. Agric. & Environ. Sci., 3 (6): 917-921, 2008 ISSN 1818-6769 © IDOSI Publications, 2008 Effect of the Kharkhe Storage Dam on Vulnerability of Downstream Land and the Kharkhe Bondary 1M. Mohammadpour, 2A. Behnia, 2A. M. Akhoond-Ali and 3A. Telvari 1Department of Hydrology, Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran 2Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran 3Institude of Watershed Manaagement, Tehran, Iran Abstract: River boundaries, as defined by the state law, comprise the land along and surrounding riverbanks expected to be inundated or flooded during flood events of a 25-year return-period. Construction of large water structures such as dams across rivers may lead to considerable decrease in the flood discharge proportionate to structure size which will in turn result in lower flood probability. Assessment of the vulnerability of river boundary is of great importance due to their rich soil and easy access to irrigation water which makes such riverbank farms economically valuable especially in dry areas. The results of such assessment can be used in land use planning. For the purposes of the present study, a reach of 190 km was selected along the banks of the Karkheh River downstream the Karkheh Storage Dam in southern Iran. Estimations were then made of river flood events prior to constructing the dam with return periods of 2 to 100 years and their corresponding post-construction values for the same periods. Values of flood inundation of the river banks were determined for flood events with different return periods. Using the values thus obtained, the vulnerability curve was plotted for various flood probabilities before and after constructing the dam.

  • Analyses of the Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources Components, Drought and Wheat Yield in Semiarid Regions: Karkheh River Basin in Iran
    HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES Hydrol. Process. (2013) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/hyp.9747 Analyses of the impact of climate change on water resources components, drought and wheat yield in semiarid regions: Karkheh River Basin in Iran S. Ashraf Vaghefi,1 S. J. Mousavi,1 K. C. Abbaspour,2* R. Srinivasan3 and H. Yang2 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran 2 Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, PO Box 611, 8600, Dübendorf, Switzerland 3 Texas A&M University, Texas Agricultural Experimental Station, Spatial Science Lab, College Station, TX, 77845, USA Abstract: Water resources availability in the semiarid regions of Iran has experienced severe reduction because of increasing water use and lengthening of dry periods. To better manage this resource, we investigated the impact of climate change on water resources and wheat yield in the Karkheh River Basin (KRB) in the semiarid region of Iran. Future climate scenarios for 2020–2040 were generated from the Canadian Global Coupled Model for scenarios A1B, B1 and A2. We constructed a hydrological model of KRB using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool to project water resources availability. Blue and green water components were modeled with uncertainty ranges for both historic and future data. The Sequential Uncertainty Fitting Version 2 was used with parallel processing option to calibrate the model based on river discharge and wheat yield. Furthermore, a newly developed program called critical continuous day calculator was used to determine the frequency and length of critical periods for precipitation, maximum temperature and soil moisture.

  • Water Resources Management in Karkheh Basin-Iran
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT - ENVIRONMENT - BIOMEDICINE Water Resources Management in Karkheh Basin-Iran AMIR HAMZEH HAGHIABI1 , NIKOS E. MASTORAKIS2 1-Department of water engineering Lorestan University Khorramabad, Lorestan Province IRAN [email protected] 2- Technical University of Sofia, BULGARIA– also with the WSEAS Research Department, WSEAS, A.I.Theologou 17-23, Zografou, 15773, Athens, GREECE Abstract: - Karkheh basin is located in the semiarid and arid regions of Western Iran, an area with severe water scarcity. 70% of rainfall is directly evaporated. The potential annual evaporation of the southern and northern regions is 3,600 mm 1,800 mm, respectively. Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of the basin. In the present situation, 3.9 bm3 of water are used for irrigating 378,164 ha of irrigated agriculture (horticulture and field crops), and surface water and groundwater resources provide 63 percent and 37 percent, respectively, of this volume. Of the irrigated area, 76.5% is under cereals (wheat and barely), 23% under pulses, and 0.5% under cultivation of forage, orchards, melons and vegetables, and oil seeds. The area is particularly low in terms of yields, productivity and incomes. Irrigation efficiency in the basin is 28-36 percent and the overall Crop Water Productivity in the basin is about 0.55 kg/m3. In this paper, the specifications of the Karkheh Reservoir Dam & Hydroelectric Power Plant as the biggest dam in history of Iran with total volume of reservoir 7.3 Bm3 and Karkheh irrigation and drainage network project are illustrated. Also the situation of water availability in the basin, surface and groundwater potential and some aspects of water resources management in the basin are considered.
