Then, using the semi-distributed SWAT model, the basin hydrology processes were simulated. After calibration to validate the model, validation was performed for each period. The Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient in calibration and validation of the first period was 0.74 and 0.52, in the second period was 0.88 and 0.61, and in the third period was 0.83 and 0.8, respectively. Also, three scenarios were defined to determine the effect of each land use management application in the study time step (1979 to 2006). All the scenarios were simulated under the same conditions for rainfall and temperature and  different land use maps. The impact of land use change under these scenarios is well observed, with the latter having a 27.7% decrease in surface runoff compared to the control scenario, as rangeland, forest, agricultural cover increased, wasteland decreased. Has found. In the third scenario, surface runoff decreased by 13.5% compared to the control scenario, but increased compared to the second scenario, as rangeland cover decreased and wasteland increased. %U https://jise.scu.ac.ir/article_16675_6d077dcca9148a99365f4bcab6db9ee8.pdf
