The Roodasht region, in the lower part of the Zayandeh Rud basin in Central Iran, is severely affected by water scarcity, desertification and land degradation. This book describes the effects this has on the environment and society, analyzes the degree of vulnerability and suggests possible ways to improve land and water management. This book provides comprehensive and interdisciplinary insights into the environmental and social situation in the region, as well as possible solutions to deal with the current challenges. Written by German and Iranian scientists, NGO staff and government officials and bridging the gap between research and practical implementation, the book not only enhances our understanding of climate change and desertification, but also raises public awareness and promotes knowledge transfer between disciplines. 606 $aWater-supply$zIran 606 $aDesertification$zIran 606 $aSustainable development$zIran 606 $aLand degradation$xControl$zIran 615 0$aWater-supply 615 0$aDesertification 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aLand degradation$xControl 676 $a553.70955 702 $aMohajeri$b Shahrooz 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910424633303321 996 $aStanding up to climate change$92135484 997 $aUNINA
