- Description
- Global water demand has increased dramatically due to rapid population growth in recent decades. For arid and semi-arid countries like Iran, water supply has become a major concern. Management of water resources was previously focused on surface water (SW) or groundwater (GW) individually (Winter et al., 1998). However, SW and GW are components of the hydrological cycle that interact with each other (Deb et al., 2019). The SW bodies like streams, rivers, reservoirs, and wetlands are in direct or indirect interaction with GW (Eini et al., 2019). Therefore, effective water management requires a comprehensive understanding of SW-GW interactions. However, we have limited knowledge about SW-GW interactions because of the lack of available field measurement/data and complexities associated with SW, GW and SW-GW processes. Thus, SW-GW interactions have frequently been ignored. Lack of proper quantification of SW-GW interactions in water resources management has resulted in unrealistic outputs and therefore, unsuitable policies and decisions (e.g. Aliyari et al., 2019; Dehghanipour et al., 2019; Pai, 2015; Tian et al., 2015; Pérez-Martín et al., 2014; Cho et al., 2010). Integrated simulation of the whole water cycle is required for realistically simulating exchange between SW and GW (Guzman et al., 2015).
