Introduction
As an Iranian civil engineer, translator, and PhD candidate in environmental engineering at the University of Tehran, I am actively involved in several prestigious organizations such as the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), Blue Peace Middle East Exchange Hub, Network of Afghan and Iranian Water Scholars (NAIWS), and the Iran Water Diplomacy Association. My primary focus is addressing transboundary water conflicts by publishing academic articles in top scientific journal

Conference Paper
New global challenges, such as the intense desire for development and climate change, can exacerbate water conflicts among stakeholders (at local, regional, national, and international levels). Discourses and narratives produced by the media, alongside objective factors, play a decisive role in shaping water interactions, a topic that has received...

Water quality management is essential for sustaining aquatic ecosystems and public health. Different approaches, such as trading ratio systems (TRS), offer economic incentives for reducing pollutant discharges and promote cost-effective compliance with water quality standards. This study evaluates the impact of equitable initial permit allocation o...

Afghanistan and Iran have a lengthy history of dispute over the water of their shared river. A dispute over water sharing still exists despite a 1973 treaty between them concerning the Helmand River's water sharing and the Joint Committee of Helmand Water Commissioners' numerous meetings. It is imperative to employ alternative paths of official neg...

This paper examines the hydropolitical issues faced by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) within domestic and international contexts. Domestically, water politics and hydraulic missions of the KRG are primarily shaped by disputes with the Iraq Federal Government (IFG) over territory, oil revenue distribution, and the historical pursuit of Kurd...

Foremost in dealing effectively with water conflicts is comprehensive analysis. The global surge in water conflicts, coupled with the imperfect success of solutions, initiatives, and policies, calls for a critical reevaluation of the paradigms that guide approaches to water conflicts. The approach taken—conflict management, resolution, or transform...

This paper aims to unpack the affective factors in Afghanistan-Iran water conflict dynamics. It examines the role played by the feeling of relative deprivation (RD) (that is, riparian states' subjective perception of their relative position) in conflicts over shared water resources. The model of RD-mediated hydropolitics is conceptualised through i...

The Afghanistan-Pakistan belt is of great geopolitical significance due to the location of Gilgit-Baltistan (a part of the disputed region of Kashmir), the strategic Wakhan Corridor, the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), and the Khyber Pass, as well as one of the most important world's drug trade passway in southern Afghanistan and Pakista...

For many years, buffers are playing an important role for protecting as well as exploiting urban streams environment. In 40s & early 50s Tehran with 5 urban streams which flow from northern mountains to southern deserts of the city had been created unique aesthetic nature. At that time no specific environmental regulatory implemented by the governm...

Given the interest in accurately predicting the Longitudinal Dispersion Coefficient (Dx) within the fields of hydraulic and water quality modeling, a wide range of methods have been used to estimate this parameter. In order to improve the accuracy of Dx predictions, this paper proposes the use of a Deep Convolutional Network (DCN), a sub-field of m...

This article aims to present a new methodology for Waste Load Allocation (WLA) in a riverine system considering the uncertainty and achieve the lowest amount of Inequity Index, Cost, and Fuzzy Risk of Standard Violation. To find a surface of undominated solutions, a new modified PAWN method, initially designed for sensitivity analysis, was develope...

The structural point of view which dominated decision makers and decision designers in urban management has been causing a lot of problems. Different cities got closer to the rivers and even a part of the stream have buried in the culverts in cities such as Tehran to maximize the use of the land on the riverbank and the bed. Ideas about the natural...

In recent years, some developing countries are encountered water quality problems because of human activities and the governments (decision makers) try to improve this situation. In this study, with respect to this issue, we analyzed the water quality of Gharesou River with QUAL2K model. Gharesou River is located in the north-west of Karkheh basin....
