Discovery and pre-test of the new model "micro conflict resolution": Case study; Darian plain in Fars province

To discover and pre-test of pattern of "micro conflict resolution over groundwater resources", at first, the Darian Plain area was divided into 10 management zones. The study population included 852 owners of agricultural water wells. In a randomized classified sample, 100 wells were selected in the mentioned areas and 20 micro groups of wells,that each containing 5 exploiters of the owner of the well neighboring to each other, were formed and tested. The pre-test was conducted with the help of exploratory interviews with 42 operators between of the same 100 operators and field surveys of the farm area and neighboring wells. The results of the pre-tests showed that the formation of the structure of the water management unit based on the formation of microgroups of wells, creates a legal and administrative platform to reduce incompatibility over groundwater resources through self-control in operation and protection of groundwater resources in Daryoun Plain.
