Water resource management with the help of weather adjustment methods and its effects on the runoff of the Zayandeh roud River catchment

Nowadays, the management of atmospheric water resources is one of the practical solutions to reduce the effects of drought and climate change. In fact, there is a significant source of potable water in the atmosphere, which is more than important due to the limited fresh water resources on the surface of the earth and on the other hand, long droughts. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effects of atmospheric water resources management on the runoff entering Zayandeh Rood Dam. For this purpose, the precipitation statistics of all stations affecting the Zayandeh Rood Dam and the volume of daily runoff entering the dam during the period of weather adjustment were obtained. Using the statistical method of factor analysis, firstly, the relationship of each station with the runoff entering the Zayandeh River Dam was investigated, and after determining the stations with greater influence, using SPSS software, the relationship between the rainfall on the same day and 7 days later in the form of a matrix with the runoff. The entrance to the Zayandeh Rood dam was investigated and finally the impact of the air conditioning operations in the Zayandeh Rood catchment area and the water entering the dam was estimated. The results showed that during the statistical period under review, 2.1 million cubic meters were added to the volume of water entering the Zayandeh Rood dam as a result of the weather adjustment operation.
