They invented some indigenous technologies as well as cooperative socio-economic systems in order to better adapt themselves to their harsh environment where the scarce water resources had to be rationed among the different communities as sustainably as possible. Those stories hold some lessons for us on how to adjust our needs to our geographical possibilities while living side by side with other people. This work gives insight into the indigenous adaptation strategies through the territorial water cooperation, and describes how water can appear as a ground for cooperation. It explains the water supply systems and social aspects of water in central Iran. Topics include the territorial water cooperation, qanat’s, the traditional water management and sustainability, the socio-economic context, the sustainable management of shared aquifers system and more.Environmental managementHydrologyWater-supplyEnvironmental sociologyEthnologyEnvironmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Water Industry/Water Technologieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000Environmental Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160Social Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030Environmental management.Hydrology.Water-supply.Environmental sociology.Ethnology.Environmental Management.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Hydrology/Water Resources.Water Industry/Water Technologies.Environmental Sociology.Social Anthropology.333.91Labbaf Khaneiki Majidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut976578BOOK9910337918703321Territorial Water Cooperation in the Central Plateau of Iran2224644UNINA
