An operational sociohydrological model to understand the feedbacks between community sensitivity and environmental flows for an endorheic lake basin, lake Bakhtegan, Iran

Over abstraction for agricultural production and droughts in the Bakhtegan basin in southwest Iran has led to decreased lake volumes and has even dried in some years. These problems have occurred in the basin as a result of neglecting the roles that humans have played in lake desiccation. This study developed a socio-hydrological model to...
