Water is the soul of life and law is the organizer of life. Although water crisis is not a new concern، recently، it has been an objective problem. Unwritten law and canonical rule has an old root in country، but formal law which is a necessary for modern society is the young one esp. law of water which refers to 1930s. The three most effective laws in the field of water are: law of “water and trends of its nationalization (1968)”، law of “justice distribution of water (1982)”، and recently، law of «Determination for illegal wells (2010)».
