Since the hierarchically-bestowed large-scale dams and canals have delivered much less than was confidently expected, and since the individualistically-operated boreholes have resulted in the now widespread phenomenon of competitive deepening (groundwater depletion), these behavioural changes have turned out to be major contributors to Iran’s looming water super-crisis. date: 2016-10 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/13881/1/DoIran.pdf identifier: Yazdanpanah, M., Thompson, M. , & Linnerooth-Bayer, J.
