Bulhnrud, with 43 kilometers common border and a water flow of 6 billion cubic meters is a seasonal river, and it is not possible to construct a dam thereon because it is not potentially beneficial for either Iran or the Republic of Azerbaijan25.
According to Article 15 of the agreement dated February 20, 1926, Sambar River, lying on 40 kilometers of common border and having 30 billion cubic meters of annual water flow, is divided into two equal parts for exploitation by Iran and the (former) Soviet Union29, and the equality is stressed again in the agreement of August 11, 1957Jo. There is no place to construct a darn on the river, and exploitation is carried out in the form of traditional streams and water pumps.
Among the indices that can be mentioned are: prevention of unwarranted destruction of natural resources, control of deserts and revival of deserts, protection of water and soil, carrying out watershed management activities and creation of the destroyed forest covering, and raising the efficiency of the investment made in production factors (land, water), implementation of the projects for surface water control, implementation of the projects related to border rivers and their tributaries, and implementation of watershed management plans for upstream of rivers, etc.
Population growth and extension of urbanization Although it is possible today to reserve and control surface waters in various ways for example by means of construction of dams and dikes and/ or implementation of watershed management projects, yet as a result of speedy trend of urbanization and the increasing need for water in cities and industries, the share of agriculture for the water reserved behind dams is reduced seriously in almost all regions of the country.
