Water deficiency and incorrect management of available water resources caused water crisis and drought occurrence increased intensity of the crisis. These crises have environmental, economical and social aspects. In this research, water crisis of Nishabor was studied. Thus, climatic, hydrologic, geologic and land use data layers were used and based on these data, analysis of the plain aquifer, hydrologic water balance, water needed and land use role on water crisis and finally spatial distribution of water crisis took places. The obtained results indicated that Nishabor aquifer storage has water deficiency of about 200 million cubic meters and the areas with medium to high water crises cover about 50 percent of study plain. Considering the exciting land use, we proposed land use correction for the areas with crises in order to manage and controlthe intensity of water crises.
