Popis: Wetlands have various advantages to the planet, duo to high productive, distinctive as well as biologically diverse ecosystems. Approximately, 6% of the world’s land surface is covered by these natural ecosystems and has several significant benefits for human society including the improvement of water quality, flood reduction biodiversity conservation, and the storage of water (Cui et al. 2009). In recent decades, the consequences of fast population growth and the surface water extraction for supplying public water, agriculture, and industry water have caused a great reduction in wetlands water availability, and endanger the health and survival of these natural ecosystems, particularly, in arid and semiarid regions (Acreman et al. 2007; Jia and Luo 2009; Sarhadi and Soltani 2013). The wetland’s inflow interruption caused by severe drought conditions, destroys their ecological functions, and affects their hydrological regime in the regions of arid and semi-arid.
