"Management of Water and Irrigation and Their Effects on Agricultural Developments and Rural Rehabilitation"

Abstract

Gholamreza zahtabian has presented
an article on "Management of Water and
Irrigation and Their Effects on Agricultural
Developments and Rural Rehabilitation". He
challenges a widely held fallacy that Iran's
main problems with water insufficiency are the
inadequate rainfall and the arid land. He
believes that the lack of adequate
management in irrigation projects is the main
cause of water insufficiency throughout the
country. The author claims that the 75% of the
available water in Iran is wasted. He offers
several approaches to improvement in water
preservation.
