Analysis of groundwater crisis in the Jaghine and Toukour Plain in Hormozgan province

In the present study, firstly, the data of observation wells of years (1991-2011), the water crisis in the Jaghine and Toukour Plain in Hormozgan province were investigated and presented by the unit hydrograph. The results of the water level in 30 observation wells indicate that the average groundwater drop in the Jaghine and Toukour basins for the study period was 16.8 meters. The aquifer has a tank fraction of 93 million cubic meters. One of the most important factors of declining to water level in Jaghine and Toukour aquifer are: drought, over withdrawal, population increase, increased cropping area and a large number of wells. The prediction results indicate that if the current conditions be continued and the absence of serious actions, in the next 10 years, the groundwater level of this aquifer will fall by more than 4.2 meters. With solutions such as not issuing new drilling licenses, protecting aquifers and artificial feeding, building an underground dam, providing optimal cultivation patterns, using new irrigation methods, along with controlling the amount of water pumping and cropping and water pricing in the agricultural sector can be Reduced the amount of groundwater and its consequences.
