Abstract

The extensive development of activities in different areas of surface and underground water resources and the lack of sufficient attention to integrated planning and management necessitates research in this regard. Due to the imbalance in the distribution of water resources and the constraints on water resources and the constraints on the use of surface water, it is necessary to combine the use of surface water and underground water resources. In this study, the modelling is done in such a way that maximum use of surface water is achieved and the rate of utilization of groundwater reaches its minimum. In this study, imperialist and genetic competition algorithms are used for optimization. In this study, the extent of utilization of groundwater resources is limited and it has tried to use all of the surface water resources of Tehran Plain. The results of this study showed that the amount of water needed from the beginning of the year begins to decrease and then increases, and this increase is related to the warm seasons of the year. Surface water levels increase in cold seasons. In the cold seasons, the supply of water requirements was complete, but in the warm seasons, some water requirements were not met. The results of this study indicate that if the amount of groundwater resources is kept to an optimum level within 10 years, the problem of groundwater resources in Tehran plain will be solved.

Highlights

Increasing population growth has increased the need for water in drinking, industry and agriculture
Separate use of resources can lead to problems such as water shortages in droughts due to the lack of surface water resources, unsustainable impacts on production and environment, dropping of stagnant levels and the mixing of salty and sweet water in coastal areas and increasing pumping costs in the result of the wasteful use
Separate use of resources can lead to problems such as water shortages in droughts due to the lack of surface water resources, unsustainable environmental impacts on production, stagnant levels and the mixing of salty and sweet water in coastal areas and increasing pumping costs in the result of the withdrawal should be overcome

Summary

Introduction

Increasing population growth has increased the need for water in drinking, industry and agriculture For this reason, optimal utilization of surface and underground water resources has been more and more considered and accepted. When resources are used (reservoir, river, underground water, etc.) in conjunctive manner, better effects than separate operation are obtained. 37o 6' 51" to 13o 33' 51" is located east This aquifer is from the north to the southern slope of the Alborz Mountains, from the south to the Arad and Fashafiyah mountains, from the east to the Tripod elevations, Quchak, Bibi Shahrbanoo, and to the key River to the Mahmoud Abad and to the west is restricted to the eastern plain of Karaj [16]. That the highest percentage and density of semi-deep wells in the Shemiranat area, deep wells in the west and south of Tehran plain and Qanat (most of them dried up), have been excavated in Tehran [16]
