Abstract

Restoration of Lake Urmia, as one of the major recent issues in Iran, has been considered by the government since 2008. How the water allocation to this restoration plan has impact on agricultural sector in the basin is amongst the main reasons that so far hindered the proper results of the restoration efforts. This study aims to show the impact of water allocation to this Lake on the agricultural sector of related provinces (West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, and Kurdistan). So purposely, in order to evaluate water allocation to Lake, a 50-year period of natural surface flows of watershed’ s rivers was considered under the various hydrological conditions and three Agricultural Water management scenarios. Results showed that having supplied the Lake water right cause a decrease of 20 to 25 percent in Agricultural Water right in West and East Azerbaijan provinces. Obviously, such a reduced cultivated area would have high socio-economic impacts especially while the basin has experienced an increase in cultivated area and changing of agronomy into orchards. So, It is recommended that based on international experiences, Lake Urmia Restoration Program provide an accessible framework and novel services for the ecology, otherwise, optimal utilization of credit and time shall not be presented.
