abstract = "{The Zayandeh-Rud River Basin in the central plateau of Iran continues to
grapple with water shortages due to a water-intensive
development path made possible by a primarily supply-oriented
water management approach to battle the water limits to growth.
Despite inter-basin water transfers and increasing groundwater
supply, recurring water shortages and associated tensions among
stakeholders underscore key weaknesses in the current water
management paradigm. There was an alarming trend of groundwater
depletion in the basin's four main aquifers in the 1993-2016
period as indicated by the results of the Mann-Kendall3 (MK3)
test and Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA) of groundwater volume.
The basin's water resources declined by more than 6 BCM in 2016
compared to 2005 based on the equivalent water height (EWH)
derived from monthly data (2002-2016) from the GRACE. The
extensive groundwater depletion is an unequivocal evidence of
reduced water availability in the face of growing basin-wide
demand, necessitating water saving in all water use sectors.
Implementing an integrated water resources management plan that
accounts for evolving water supply priorities, growing demand
and scarcity, and institutional changes is an urgent step to
alleviate the growing tensions and preempt future water
insecurity problems that are bound to occur if demand management
approaches are delayed.}",
