Abstract

In this paper, the long-term effects of changes in the type of water exploitation on agricultural lands, textures, and lifestyles of the village of Abdullah Abad, Damghan, which has been damaged, are studied. This local and regional effect is examined in this paper by aggregating several analyzing methods such as the village's water supply resources in the Damegan city for over 50 years, drawing piezometric diagrams of regional and village wells, the identification of changes in water resources, analyzing aerial images of the residential and agricultural texture of the village during the years 1966, 1987, and 2018, and the analysis of population and migration statistical results. The main approach adopted in this paper is the description-analysis method based on the analysis and field observation because of reference limitations. As a result, the village's water supply resources conversion from aqueducts (sustainable) to water wells (unsustainable), caused three periods with different texture, structural, and populations conditions. Finally, a rehabilitation plan is proposed in this paper in order to achieve optimal exploitation of agricultural lands and village's water supply resources, and modification of the continuous chain of local and regional vital elements.
