Assessing the available surface water resources of Torogh Dam for agricultural consumption-problems and solutions for future

Shortage of water resources in Iran especially the Mashad area is a very severe problem due to the prevailing condition of arid and semi-arid climate. Prolong droughts will affect the availability of water in Iran. Therefore Torogh Dam Watershed of Mashad has been studied. It is located in a semi ar...
