Popis:	One of the sub-sectors of agriculture that consumes the highest amount of water in the crops production sector is the forage production. Among sustainable strategies to reduce water consumption and maintain sustainability of production is replacement of drought tolerant forage crops with high water consumption forage crops in arid and semi-arid regions such as east of Zayandehrud River Basin. The objectives in the chapter are expression of the importance of water and energy productivity in agricultural basins especially Zayandehrud River basin, introduction of sorghum as one the most tolerant forage crops with features related to water productivity as alternative of corn with high water demand.
