Groundwater is an important source of water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water. This water source is highly valuable in arid and semiarid regions because of their stable chemical composition, temperature and and their low possibility pollution. In recent decades, population growth and changing consumption patterns of communities led to increase water stress in the world; hence water resource management is becoming more important. Artificial recharge is one of the water management strategies to compensate the shortage of water resources. This study aimed to select appropriate places for implementation of artificial water recharge in Vardasht basin in Semirom city. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) were used to select the appropriate places for the artificial water recharge project. Nine environmental layers including slope, flooding, land use, unsaturated alluvium thickness, permeability, distance from wells, distance from villages, water quality and water table of aquifer were used to assess the suitability of the study area for the project. The results of this study showed that the integration of these techniques is a proper approach in determining suitability of the sites for artificial water recharge. The permeability was identified as the most important factor for determining suitable sites for artificial water recharge. Soil hydraulic conductivities were measured in different study sites as an index of soil permeability or soil hydraulic properties. Regression models (Pedotransfer functions) were used to measure soil hydraulic conductivities of the sites. This study showed that soil hydraulic conductivity is highly variable and it varies based on local conditions. However, there are significant relationships between soil hydraulic conductivity and texture, bulk density and soil organic matter of the sites. Pedotransfer functions can be used efficiently to estimate soil hydraulic conductivity of the sites and it saves time and cost and facilitates watershed management.
