There is a multifaceted approach of water resource in a watershed, which is accompanied by complexity and issues such as the interaction of natural and human systems. Achieving the consistent governance of water resources is one of the most important management approaches in the water sector, which requires a coherent structure of knowledge transfer and information on the organizations stakeholders’ network associated with water resources. In this research has been studied in Taleghan watershed to measure cooperation relations (transfer of water resources management knowledge), between 28 organizational practitioners (Including development, protective, and mediation organizations). In this study data were collected based on the questionnaire analysis questionnaire. The results show that the knowledge structure of water resources management in Taleghan watershed is highly integrated among organizational stakeholders and the type of knowledge management is currently not based on negotiation. On this basis, it can be claimed that based on the bonding social capital index (relationships of each of the sub- groups) is modest and based on the E - I index, bridging relations (relations between different subgroups) have a weak rate. it can be concluded that the relationship between water resource management and water resources management in Taleghan district level is an essential step to establish a cooperative governance of water resources.
