Abstract

The growing population and, consequently, the need to produce crops on the one hand and the limitation of water resources as an important factor in agricultural production have led to the intensification of the problem of dehydration in many parts of the world, including Iran. Therefore, a balance between water resource constraints and agricultural development is essential. In this regard, the International Water Management Organization (IMO) has estimated in its comprehensive assessment that water management in agriculture in rainforests could lead to a 75% increase in global food products (Di Dono, 2009). Therefore, agricultural development through the development of dry land areas can be considered as a logical solution in the context of the water crisis (Akhavan et al. 2013).
