Dissertation Topic
Simulating quality and quantity of surface and groundwater supplies by using a system dynamics approach, (Case study: east of Tehran, Iran)
cooperating with regional water authority in Tehran under the guidance of my supervisor (Prof. Ahmad Abrishamchi). My thesis was about quality and quantity simulation of surface and groundwater resources in an arid region in Iran (southeast of Tehran). There is a chronic shortage in water resources there and we compare divergent subjects to improve this problem such as inter-basin water transfer, reduce agricultural water allocation, change in water expenses to reduce water consumption etc. Also we achieved appropriate qualitative solutions to enhance water quality of Tehran.

(2014-2015)Water demand and supply management in Neishaboor basin examining ways to equilibration through water pricing with dynamic simulation
Working for Khorasan Razavi Regional Water Authority. In this study, I developed a System Dynamics Simulation Model (SDSM) of Neishaboor (East of Khorasan Razavi) region for discovering effect of increasing price of water to reduce usage and demand also showing effect of this increasing on groundwater of Neishaboor.
(2013)Simulating Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) using System Dynamics (SD) approach
Cooperating in the field of modeling and simulating water resources challenges and problems. On a recent troubleshooting project we worked on a 60 million-cubic-meter reservoir called 'Tabarak Dam' that remains almost empty after about 10 years of construction.
(2010-2012)Work on M.Sc. Thesis and some other projects
1-Working on my M.Sc. Thesis entitled 'Conjunctive Management of Surface and Groundwater for Domestic and Agricultural Demand Using System Dynamics; A Case Study East of Tehran, Iran'.
2-Simulating Dez Reservoir to reach an appropriate effective operation policy by means of Vensim software. 3-Dam site selection in Sistan watershed using GIS toolsEffective reservoir operation scenarios using System Dynamics (SD) approach
Some of the most important challenges facing water managers are to increase water supply and reduce its demand. A single systematic method is needed to address both issues, such as the System Dynamics (SD) modeling approach. In this approach all the factors, parameters, and their influences on the problem are considered by causal loops and stock-flow diagrams.
