Abstract
Present case study focus on the facts of hydrological processes influenced by land variations in water supply catchment in Iran. In 2006, Taleghan dam envisioned to be used for multipurpose together with visit refreshment, such activities put much pressure on exploitation of land and water resources in Taleghan catchment. Advantageous technique for incorporated management of catchments in the management of sustainability development is inclusion hydrological model i-e soil and water assessment tool model implementing along with GIS. Study consist of three phases (i) the setup (also indicated as warm-up) phase starting from 1992 up to the end of the year 1994 (three years), (ii) the calibration phase which protracted from the commencement of the year 1995 up to the end of the year 2000 (six years), and (iii) a validation phase initiating from 2001 till the end of the year 2004 (four years). Dry agricultural practices lost their constancy and rigorously dropped as a result and the dry agricultural land regions transformed into virgin acreage.
