Abstract :
Climate change, population growth and environmental pressures pose challenges for water resources management. Many countries, such as Iran, which is on the arid and semi-arid belt, are expected to face major challenges in the field of water resources sharing in the coming years, so proper management of water resources is essential and important. Improper management of water resources causes drying of many wetlands and groundwater aquifers and this process can play a role in creating a crisis. One of the solutions that is used today to solve water problems is the use of inter-basin water transfer (IBT) method. Water is no longer just an economic commodity to meet everyday needs, but has become a security issue in recent years. The important issue is that at present, due to the rapid increase in population and the needs of this population for fresh water resources, the use of traditional methods in agriculture, high water wastage in the distribution and consumption network, improper management of water resources Deforestation, climate change and rising greenhouse gases are all components of the escalating water shortage crisis. A major challenge has arisen in the area of security threats. In any case, this hypothesis proves that by pathology and recognizing the most important problems in the field of water, as well as examining existing solutions to solve the water shortage crisis and using the successful experiences of other countries, we can use the inter-basin water transfer method. To prevent a water shortage crisis and turn it into a security problem.
