ABSTRACT:

Iran experiences insufficient precipitation, resulting in groundwater resources being used in excess, leading to negative water balances in many plains. As a result, the Ministry of Energy began implementing the Groundwater Rehabilitation and Balancing Plan (GRBP) in 2006 to replenish the aquifers. The plan includes measures such as Blocking Illegal Wells (BIW), Equipping Wells with Volumetric Meters (EWVM), Increasing Patrol and Control (IPC) and inspection of the degree of exploitation of groundwater using wells, etc. Researchers examined the level of social agreement between farmers and experts on the effectiveness of the Ministry of Energy's policies for the GRBP and assessed the farmers' response to droughts in this descriptive-analytic study. The data were collected using questionnaires designed in Likert scale, and they were analyzed in R programming language using the T-test, independent-sample T-test, and Friedman test. The excel file contains data from two different questionnaires collected from farmers and experts.
An analysis of the data has been published in a paper "Hashemi, M., Zadeh, H. M., Zarghami, M., Demeke, B. W., & Delgarm, R. T. (2023). An analysis of why rehabilitation and balancing programs for aquifers do not meet water organizations' targets (a case study of the Qazvin aquifer in Iran). Agricultural Water Management, 281, 108258."
Other studies can use the data only if they cite it.
