Abstract

Today, the situation of terrestrial and water resources are crucial due to their over exploitations. It is about 40 years, due to inter-regional and extra-regional effects of destruction of these resources, the implementation of watershed management plans on the natural resources has come into force to control and combat against the threats on all these resources. Despite four decades of executive tasks, these resources are under destruction and all the measures seem to have little effectiveness, totally. Moreover, integrated and ceaseless measures to assess the scope and causes of the failures of initiatives have not been done. The study adopted the qualitative and quantitative methods to assess watershed management of the Kushak Abad basin and Kardeh watershed area of Iran, before and after of the implementation using archival study, direct observation, in-depth interview and questionnaire. In order to sum the results, the factors were divided into seven groups and each then scored by using minor factors. The results showed that two factors are considered as important factors in the performance plan: the status of the provided plan and lack of economic assessment. The final score is 56 for this project according to the above method which Suggest the average performance of the plan.
