A 15-meter decrease in underground water level and several-years of drought which have afflicted the Gavkhooni swamp, signify inappropriate allocation of the available water.
The rapid growth in population as well as increase in water demand due to municipalities, expansion of industrial activities, farming has put a lot of pressure on existing water in the Zayande Rood basin.This paper claims that the centralized method of water allocation directed under the supervision of a public institution has lost its credibility and does not harmonize with the institutional setting of the water market. With the use of a non-centralized method, such an institutional setting can be more efficiently utilized. But before implementing changes, with a laboratory-type experience we can examine probable changes. Therefore in this article a computerized water allocation system for the purpose of using the water market has been devised and it is shown that efficiency increases. Such allocation has been implemented for the river basin of Zayande Rood in (Isfahan) Iran.
