The Impact

The amount of water consumed in the agricultural sector in Iran is higher than the global average and this necessitates more attention to proper water management in this sector. Due to the climatic conditions of Iran, the average rainfall in most areas is lower than global rainfall. That is to say, the water issue is one of Iran's most important concerns or the greatest challenge for the people of this land. Examining the current agricultural situation indicates that despite the increased agricultural production potential due to the lack of a proper management system, optimal utilization of available resources has not become possible and droughts and reduced rainfall and increasing population followed reduce the amount of water consumed in the agricultural sector. The present study investigates the impact of agricultural water resources management on the economic development of rural settlements (Case study: Villages of Zebarkhan district of Neyshabur city). This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive and analytical method and library and field methods have been used for data collection. According to the results of the present study and data analysis regarding the amount of water consumed in the study area, it was observed that the amount of water consumed per hectare for all crops in modern management lands was less than the fields where managed by the traditional way. This suggests that modern science-based scientific management has played a key role in reducing the loss of water resources within the scope of this study, and in contrast, water loss in farms that are managed in traditional ways is so high. Also, regarding the production efficiency in the study area, the results showed that the production efficiency per hectare for all crops was significantly higher than that under traditional management. This rate varied between 25 to 57.1%.

In order to achieve the goals of sustainable agricultural and rural development, agricultural education is an issue that should be in base considered and researched according to the importance of the issue and its related challenges must be realistically analyzed, Since water is one of the effective factors in the agricultural sector that plays a vital role in the production of agricultural products. There are several factors for low water productivity in the country, one of which can be considered non-optimal and unplanned use of water. It is clear that by increasing the level of awareness of farmers about the type of management of agricultural water resources it is possible to reduce current expenses and then to achieve high productivity and increasing income from crops and orchards. Therefore, in this study, the optimal management of water and reduction of production costs in the agricultural sector in Zabrkhan county of Neishabour city has been studied. The research method in this article was a descriptive- analytical method and the data was collected by two methods of library and field methods. The results show that the production cost per hectare of all crops in lands under water resources management is less than unmanaged lands. This rate varied between 3.4 to 16.8 percent. If we associate this reduction in production cost with product efficiency and use the cost per kilogram of production as a criterion, the reduction will be 165.2% for irrigated wheat, 150% for irrigated barley, 106.8% fodder corn and 54.4% for garden products. Therefore, according to the research results, the research hypothesis is confirmed.

RESUMO: O presente trabalho tem a proposta de avaliar a eficácia de duas metodologias de avaliação de risco de uma barragem no Nordeste Brasileiro no intervalo de 10 anos, baseando-se na inspeção e no nível de ameaça. Utiliza-se a metodologia Nível de Perigo da Barragem (NPB) para cálculo do nível de ameaça (Fontenelle, 2007) e para o cálculo do risco as metodologias da Companhia de Gestão dos Recursos Hídricos do Ceará (COGERH) e do Conselho Nacional de Recursos Hídricos (CNRH). Observa-se que o crescente número de barragens soma-se a preocupação com a segurança destas. Face a isto, utiliza-se a avaliação de risco como forma de priorizar ações de manutenção e recuperação. O estudo de caso ocorreu na Barragem Malcozinhado, localizada no município de Cascavel, no estado do Ceará. Com base na inspeção, calcula-se o nível de ameaça e o risco, compara-se estes com os resultados de 2006. Assim, observou-se o aumento no nível de ameaça, no entanto, o risco permaneceu, em geral, baixo, semelhante aos resultados de 2006. Este resultado se deve ao fato de que o número de anomalias aumentou, porém trata-se de uma barragem jovem, de pequeno porte e inspecionada regularmente.ABSTRACT: The present study has the proposal of evaluating the effectiveness of two methodologies of risk Assessment of a Brazilian Northeast dam in a range of 10 years, based on the inspection and the level of hazard. The methodology used for calculating the hazard level is the Dam Hazard Level (NPB). In addiction, in order to evaluate the risk is used the methodology of the Water Resources Management Company of Ceará (COGERH) and the methodology of National Resources Council Water (CNRH). The number of dams is increasing with to the concern for their safety. In view of this, risk assessment is used as a tool to prioritizing maintenance and recovery actions. The case study occurred in the Malcozinhado Dam, located in the municipality of Cascavel, in the state of Ceará. Based on the inspection, the level of hazard and risk is calculated, compared to the results for 2006. Thus, the increase in the level of hazard was observed, but the risk remained generally low, similar to 2006 result. This result is due to the fact that the number of anomalies has increased, but it is a young, small and regularly inspected dam.

Abstract Integrated water resources management (IWRM) is being implemented all over the world, considering its wide area of applications and flexible spatial scale. Scientists have found IWRM useful in an Indian context also where a coordinated development of water and land resources is sought as part of complete economic, social and environmental welfare. The paper presents the concepts of ‘Local IWRM’ planning applied to water conservation and management in a case study of Ur river watershed in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh (India). The Plan considers effective utilization of land, water and other available natural resources, linked to the vulnerabilities and livelihood opportunities in the geographical area. The IWRM Plan, designed in three sections – (1) water management, (2) land management, and (3) livelihood management – provides specific suggestions on the activities under these three themes as useful inputs to the District Irrigation Plan (DIP) of the Government. The proposed IWRM Plan intends to promote the component of water demand management in district level planning and is envisioned to be an ‘implementable’ planning document for district level government. Acceptability of the IWRM plan is potentially enhanced as the plan was developed through a participatory process, wherein all relevant stakeholders were consulted at different stages of development.
