Abstract
One of the most important sources of water supply, especially in arid areas, is groundwater resources. The various climate and human crises have caused complexity in water resources systems, particularly groundwater. The evaluation of the technical efficiency of these systems is based on the integrated management of operational capability. The integrated approach of the DPSIR in the aquifer system can improve the efficiency of the equilibrium plan due to the critical state of groundwater resources. This approach can be applied by considering the four parts of the actuator, pressure, mode and effects to formulate proper utilization policy with consideration of compatibility with aquifer status. In this research, while proposing a unified DPSIR approach for managing aquifers, an appropriate compatibility policy was developed for optimal utilization with consideration of decision making at four operational levels. This integrated approach to the groundwater resources system for decision making can provide the right tools with minimal stress for the users and the government.
