The aim of the GWES project is 1/ to consider extreme events (natural and man-induced) that could adversely influence human health and life, 2/ to support countries repeatedly affected by such events in the setting up of emergency plans and mitigation schemes to secure drinking water supply, and 3/ to identify in advance potential safe groundwater resources which could temporarily replace damaged water supply systems. The results of this project will allow countries to minimize the dependence of threatened population on vulnerable drinking water supplies. Groundwater bodies are naturally less vulnerable and more resistant than surface waters to external impact. Deep aquifers naturally protected from the earth surface by geological environ- ment should be therefore, identified and evaluated.

TJG-Mar 17-Yazd
Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Jakarta Globe Life & Style 23 In Yazd, an Eternal Flame Burns Bright Wahyuni Kamah visits the Persian desert city at the heart of an ancient and intriguing religion arrived at the main bus terminal in Yazd, the capital of the eponymous province in Iran, at night, and immediately I had the impression of a city that was wide sprawling. There were no high-rise buildings visible, Iand the city stretched out flat and low. I couldn’t wait until day broke to see and explore the city, located about 630 kilometers southeast of Tehran. Yazd was the center of Zoroastrianism when the Sasanian Empire (224 to 651 C.E.) ruled Persia, and takes its name from Yazdegerd I, one of the rulers of the dynasty, who reigned from 399 to 421. Zoroastrianism is an ancient mono- theistic religion founded more than 3,500 years ago by Zoroaster (or Zarathustra), and was the predominant faith during the Sasanian era. I wanted to know more about it, so the next morning I hired a taxi to take me to the Towers of Silence, among the last remnants of that time. Located in the middle of the country and surrounded by deserts — Dasht-e- Kavir to the north and Dasht-e-Lut to the The Towers of Silence, top, in the desert outside Yazd served as funerary structures for the south — Yazd is the driest city in Iran. As ancient Zoroastrian faith, which is still practiced in Yazd.

From the most ancient structures of the geology in the world (Precambrian) to the newest ones (Holocene) are seen at a distance which is less than 100 km in this province. We can rarely see very various ecotourism attractions such as deserts, salt playas, sand dunes, Qantas, glacial circuses, spring, karstic caves and kalouts in the other areas of the world in a small distance away from each other. Therefore this province can have special status in ecotourism industry because of its attractions and developing this industry will result in socio-economic advancement and an increase in the employment rate in Yazd province.This research attempts to consider ecotourism attractions briefly in Yazd province and introduce available potential abilities in this field.
