  7. Abstract:
  8. Conservation of water and protection of water resources is considered as an important and fundamental element in sustainable development. In the southern regions of our country, access to fresh water is very difficult and it is very costly to supply. In Kish Island with an area of approximately 9000 Ha, Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) is very important in terms of water supply and the environment and the natural ecosystem. Due to the confined and limited water resources available, and its reducing per capita, IWRM will become more important. In this regard,the Island's water resources (conventional and unconventional) need to be analyzed. Water systems can be modeled using appropriate measures , required predictions and the response of the system can be simulated. In this research, first a review of the work and studies on small islands in other countries and then studies about Kish Island in terms of water supply, wastewater treatment, recycling effluent and surface runoff conditions will be examined . Next the water resources available and usable in the Kish Island, including surface water, groundwater, the amount of produced water bydesalination, wastewater, effluent of wastewater treatment plant and other resources used in the Island will be identified .Also the amount of produced water and the quality of each of these sources and the development of future resources or limitations in over time will be detected. Finally, we presented a general model using WEAP and different scenarios were examined. The results show that the use of effluent as a source of water for green space should be completely replaced for other water resources. As well as the humidity and water by existing air conditions can be used as an alternative source of non-potable uses, green space and other uses. It also uses some applications for legal restrictions for water consumption on the island can reduce water consumption
