What have we done to manage water resources? What should we do?

Water problems in the country,s Iran can be divided into two groups of problems due to natural characteristics and problems caused by wicked management. For water planning, two types of use have to be defined: first, the annual consumption of the country in urban and rural areas (home-green space), agriculture and industry. Second, the environmental contribution. Because of lack of planning, the country's consumption and circulation of water in different sectors of household, agriculture and industry is much higher than the world average. The disadvantages are so much that most people and decision-makers in different categories still do not believe in critical situations. One of the other problems is the low price of water in Iran compared to other countries. Another problem is the lack of awareness among water consumers. One of the basic steps to be taken is to provide timely, real, and non-conscientious information on the long-term and permanent planning of the state of the water to the public.
