  7. Abstract:
  8. Artificial recharge is an effective method of enhancing groundwater resources. Different methods are being used for aquifer recharge, including direct surface and subsurface method, Combined and indirect methods. Among these, direct surface methods such as flood spreading and ditch and furrow techniques are most commonly used methods. They are frequently used in Iran too, but what is disregarded herein, is the application of modern methods of artificial recharge such as ASR and ASTR. ASR and ASTR are methods of artificial recharge through injection wells/borings, in order to recharge deep-seated or those aquifers which are separated by impermeable stratum from the surface. These methods, from the economic point of view due to possibility of utilizing existing infrastructure, such as dry wells and from technical point of view due to direct injection of water and protecting water against evaporation and losses, have priority over surface methods in arid and semi-arid countries. In the present study we are going to introduce a comprehensive and applicable model for investigation of ASR method of artificial recharge which can be beneficial in management planning and decision making for water resource development and provides the possibility of comparison of these schemes with dam construction projects or other conventional methods of artificial recharge. For this purpose, a study region has been chosen and the effective parameters has been studied and weighted, finally according to extracted priorities, region with different potential for the ASR implementation have been identified
