Short Summary

This chapter aims to investigate the impacts of human factors (dam construction and land use changes) and climatic drought on hydrological drought within the Zohreh-Jarahi basin in southwestern Iran over a five-decade period.

Objective

• To explore the impacts of human factors (dam construction and land use changes) and climatic drought on hydrological drought.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Zohreh-Jarahi basin, southwestern Iran
• Temporal Scale: 1966–2015 (a five-decade span)

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not specified in the provided text.
• Data sources: Analysis of historical changes in meteorological drought, hydrological drought, land use, and dam construction. Specific data types (e.g., satellite, observation, reanalysis) are not detailed in the provided text.

Main Results

The provided text constitutes the introduction to Chapter 10 and does not present the main results or findings of the study. It outlines the scope and objectives of the chapter.

Contributions

The chapter's original value lies in its integrated approach to analyzing the combined effects of climatic factors and specific human interventions (dam construction and land use changes) on hydrological drought over a significant historical period (five decades) within a specific, water-stressed basin.

Funding
