Abstract

Groundwater plays an important role in the sustainable development of human societies. The rapid growth of population, low level effectiveness, and performance of irrigation in agriculture sector have led to increase in demand for water resources in Iran. Therefore, the regional management of water extraction and the optimal usage of available water resources are highly important. Considering the urgent and intense need for groundwater resources, we used Shannon’s entropy and frequency ratio models to identify the groundwater resources of Sero Plain for agricultural and drinking purposes as well as to detect the factors that affect occurrence of groundwater and zoning.
