Relations Between Land Use Changes and Drought in Kavar Depression (Iran)
Abstract
The multidimensional drought is primarily a meteorological
origin. But human activities are also main concern for this scenario,
especially in case of irrigation methods when agricultural crops require high
amount of water in areas with low rainfall and high temperature. Beacause of
this incresing water demand, primarily the groundwater level starts to decrease
and hence agricultural drought occures. The Kavar depression in Iran which is
the subject of this study also faces problems such as water shortage and the
wrong selection of agricultural crop production. In order to determine the
facts, the land use changes of the corresponding study area has been taken into
account from 1975 to 2017. Different version of Landsat satellite images
including Landsat 4, 5 and 8 have been processed by remote sensing techniquesto
revealing the temporal variation of the area where the crop was produced by
irrigation. However, based on the available rainfall and temperature data,
water shortage has been calculated by using Thornthwaite Method. On the other
hand, for nonparametric Mann-Kendall test correlation analyses, evaporation data has been used along with
other climate data. In addition, water demand per hectare has also been collected
for spcific crop of Kavar depression. As a continuation of the analysis based
on the natural and artificial elements, finally the relation between the total
water demand of irrigated agriculture field and the water potential of
depression from 1975 has been found.
