¬ Water Resources Management & Planning Section
Water resource management and planning is one of the major study fields in this division, which is performed at watershed level to reach water resources integrated management and sustainable development. The main goal of this section is making possible water allocation to all demanding sectors, considering inter-sectoral coordination as well as long-term policy makings by using new water resources management tools.
The major services of this section are:

1. Water resources planning
2. Integrated management of water recourses at watershed level
3. Management of common and border waters
4. Structure, organization and rules
5. Capacitating water systems
6. Empowering local organizations and stakeholders participation
7. Supporting services for management of water resources projects
8. Information management and decision making support system

¬ Water Resources Engineering Section
Activities of this section cover the engineering services which is required for water resources development projects. Human activities such as dam construction, flood control, establishment of Irrigation and drainage networks, groundwater exploitation, change of land-use, effluent discharge into water bodies, etc have major effects on different ecosystems of the impacted areas. This section is liable to perform water resources quality planning, using field and laboratorial measurements to identify the pollutant sources and prepare computer models for EIA of water resources development projects.
The major services of this section are:

1. Evaluation of water resources in different watersheds
2. Water resources planning
3. Management and exploitation of unconventional water resources
4. Water quality planning
5. Qantitative and qualitative modeling of reservoirs, rivers and lakes
6. Determine ecological demands of natural water bodies
7. water resources pollution control plan
8. Design and implementation of the relevant information systems management and monitoring network
9. R/S/GIS services for the all water resources planning projects

¬ Water Resources Baseline Studies

In water resources development projects, to identify the project area, some studies are required including meteorology, climatology, surface and groundwater resources geology and geotechnics, which are performed in this section. Qualitative and quantitative sampling and measurement of water resources in water monitoring plan is another activity of this section. The major services of this section are:

1. Meteorology and climatology
2. Flood and draught
3. Hydrology and hydrogeology
4. Gology and geotechnical studies
5. Qualitative and quantitative sampling and measurement of water resources
