Abstract
One of the most important challenges for managers is to provide stable water resources in acute conditions such as drought crises, which can affect the quality and quantity of living conditions. Inadequacy in water supply to agriculture on one hand and the weakness of water supply systems in industries and fisheries on the other hand has become one of the challenging factors. Therefore, one of the solutions chosen by managers for water supply is to transfer water from one basin to another. The water transfer plan from Behesht Abad is one of the water transfer plans that has been researched in this article. The purpose of this research is to analyze the challenges of inter-basin water transfer and its role on social and economic security in Isfahan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces. The current research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its method. Data collected based on the opinions of a sample size of 70 people who with on t-test, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis of structural equations in spss22 and Smart PLs software. The findings of the research show that the water transfer plan from the source of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari to the destination of Isfahan has not only led to a decrease in water supply for animal husbandry, agriculture and drinking, but has also caused a general displacement of nomadic life due to the severe reduction of water and consequently It has followed large-scale migrations of citizens of this region.
