Abstract

The average deficit of the long-term reservoir volume of the country's aquifers from 1971 to 2022 is equal to 48 billion cubic meters. Therefore, it is inevitable to change the basic approach in the policies and strategies of the water sector. Since 2013, the restoration and balancing plan of underground water resources has been on the agenda of the Ministry of Energy. The aim of this research was to introduce and diagnose the restoration and balancing plan of underground water resources, which was done in three steps. In the first step, the factors affecting the complete failure of the plan's goals, in the second step, the issues and problems in the implementation of each of the case plan projects, and in the third step, the problem analysis and pathology of the plan and restoration and balancing were done. The results showed insufficient legal capacities, lack of effective use of development program rulings and upstream documents in proper organization and attracting the participation of the beneficiary community; Inefficiency and conflict of interest in groundwater management; The existence of conflicts in policies, contradictions in upstream documents and inter-sectoral interests, lack of comprehensiveness in planning, implementation and monitoring of the revitalization and balancing plan are among the effective factors in the complete failure of the plan's goals.
