Abstract

Due to water resource limitations on one hand and increasing depletion of groundwater resources worldwide on the other hand, there is a growing attention among urban and regional planners about balancing supply and demand. In this respect, it is recommended to use a multidimensional tool which links REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT to water resource. This paper aims to apply WATER POVERTY INDEX (WPI) which consists of five main components; resource, access, capacity, use, and environment; in order to compare different counties of QAZVIN PROVINCE. Results showed that southern part including Avaj, Takestan, and Buiin Zahra County have weaknesses in capacity (high rate of infant death and illiteracy) and environment component (high usage of fertilizer and toxin and low water quality). In contrast Qazvin County gained a good result because of rich water resources, and good situation in capacity and use component. Moreover, Alborz County, in the second rank, had a high access and environmental grade. Finally as a result of using SPSS software DRIVING FORCES in province scale were found. Results showed that the two most significant components in this region are environment and capacity. Our findings lead to a better understanding of opportunities and threats in water issue and would be a useful tool for achieving a comprehensive and systematic view of a region in order to develop more water-oriented.
