Lack of water and its gradual reduction due to excessive consumption by the communities has caused the issue of water to play an essential role in the relations between the government and the nations. Strong governments due to possessing decision-making tools and adopting general policies and important strategies in the field of reforming the consumption pattern and also using their power to carry out society's affairs without relying on the people due to having rentier incomes, easy extraction of resources and Its distribution among the beneficiaries, extensive bureaucracy, the existence of government parties and closing the space of civil society have caused the isolation and weakness of the society.
