Abstract

Before making any decisions about water transfer, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the costs and benefits of this plan for each region and determine its economic and social consequences. It is necessary to consider the economic value of water in each region, taking into account market factors as well as development needs, as a criterion for measuring the economic justification of this plan.
Unfortunately, so far in Iran, decisions about water transfer projects have been made mainly based on government support or political pressures, and the comprehensive economic and social evaluation of these projects has not been sufficiently considered.
