Description
Summary:This study focuses on the seasonal floods in Iran, namely in Azerbaijan province in northwest of Iran. Iran is located on 45 to 61 degrees E longitude and 25 to 38 degrees N latitude. It has an arid and semiarid climate with sporadic rainfall which creates seasonal floods and causes considerable economic, social and environmental damages. It is significant that priority of regional and national planning should be considered not only in preventing damages of floods, but also new strategies and innovative methods are necessary to be employed in controlling the floods due to geologic structures and geographic location of area.
