Abstract Water, food, and energy systems are highly interconnected, and changes in one can have a direct impact on the others. In transboundary basins, these interactions become more complex due to conflicting interests and uneven distribution of resources. In Harirud River Basin, Afghanistan, unsustainable upstream water development plans (e.g., dams and agricultural expansion) have increased water use, resulting in reduced flows downstream to eastern Iran.

Abstract Although the number of global water stable isotope databases (δ18O and δ2H) is growing, accessible groundwater stable isotope data on developing countries (e.g., Iran), are conspicuously lacking. To fill this gap, we conducted a sampling campaign during October 2023 to measure δ18O and δ2H in 202 wells, springs, and qanats across 10 main aquifers in Iran.

Abstract River water quality data are essential for managing surface water resources and protecting terrestrial-aquatic ecosystems. While the number of compiled global river water quality datasets is growing, there is a notable lack of available data in Asian countries, especially Iran. To address this gap, this study compiled a comprehensive water chemistry dataset for Iranian rivers covering 1964–2020.
