| The issue of water transfer from the high seas (Oman and the Persian Gulf) to Yazd province has been very controversial in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the infrastructures and capacities needed to implement such projects in the country in order to identify the deficiencies and shortcomings and to take effective measures to address these issues. In this study, using SWOT matrix analysis, we tried to investigate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the field of water transfer at three systemic, organizational and individual levels. To this end, a questionnaire was prepared at three levels and was completed by 30 experts in the executive departments related to water transfer. Analysis of the questionnaires showed that the designed strategies were part of the defensive and conservative strategies. The results showed that at the macro level and policy making of the country, a strategy with a score of 9/835 recalls the importance of preventing aquatic activities and preventing effective measures for desertification has the highest priority. At the individual level, a strategy that addresses the prevention and avoidance of personal and non-professional attitudes with a score of 8.997 has the highest priority, which can be addressed by conducting specialized trainings, workshops and expert meetings. |
