Abstract

Social and economic changes can multiplicate and rise water demands. As witnessed in many cases around the globe, limited renewable water resources have not effectively played a confining role for the developments, and with the rising demands, subtle transfer of rights or reallocations have taken place. Reallocation can be considered as a strategy to curb the issues of water scarcity and to exercise water demand management, in very different ways. Governance and Water Rights are determinative factors for the quality of reallocation with regard to the issues of equity and sustainability. By conducting a qualitative research through interviews, observations and document analysis, in this paper we have investigated the process of reallocation in Zayandehrud basin, Iran. The research revealed three mechanisms of reallocation: from previous right-holders to the government-defined purposes; from downstream to upstream; and from previous groundwater right-holders to new users. Lack of transparency and stakeholder participation in the reallocations without taking compensative measures is why here we have coined this experience a “ Silent Reallocation” . As with the growing effects of Silent Reallocations, Zayandehrud basin has witnessed contentious interactions among right-holders and the government. Reactions and decisions by the government reveal confusion and inability to deal with the complicated circumstances of the reallocations occurred. Meanwhile, though the reactions by the right-holder groups of farmers imply for raised local awareness and tremendous improvements in their social capacity to organize their power and influence, the sole request for furthering their access to water has complicated the controversies without distinguishable outcomes.
