Today, the quality of human life is directly affected by how planning and managing water resources. Also, attention to water as one of the fundamental components of sustainable development and achieving its goals is essential. As a result, precise and rational planning and management to utilize water resources is necessary for economic and social development, reducing poverty, and improving justice. Iran is located in the arid and semi-arid area of the world, with an average precipitation of 250 mm per year. The limited water resources resulting from this condition are considered a limiting factor for development in many parts of the country. As a result, monitoring all external driving forces of the water sector (urban growth, consumption pattern, technological changes, and policies of other sectors) as factors affecting the quantity and quality of this limited natural resource is a vital and essential measure.
