Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) with treated wastewater, is considered as an effective solution for a critical aquifer decline due to groundwater overexploitation. In ASR operational step and after the aquifer storage phase, the problem is the new groundwater right for stakeholders and specifically farmers. In a 2-year study, the potential of a participatory approach for solving this problem was investigated and applied in Fashafoeyeh aquifer in southern Tehran Province. This aquifer faces a critical situation of groundwater from point of view of quantitative and qualitative aspects. Firstly, five indicators were considered including agricultural efficiency, water resource efficiency, water governance, local participation, and economic factors. Then 23 farmers and agricultural landowners were selected based on age, education, and gender. A questionnaire was designed, surveyed, and filled out after interviewing them in several field trips to the site. The results of data analysis showed that 96% of farmers and landowners were highly motivated in the implementation of the participatory approach in ASR management. Moreover, 91% showed a high desire to decrease the groundwater withdrawal from wells. A high percentage of stakeholders had a tendency to participate in some aspects of ASR system. In the meantime, many farmers had a negative viewpoint about government supports. The results illustrate a correlation between agriculture efficiency with participation in the government's projects and implementation. Moreover, a correlation exists between water management in the field and participation in government's projects as well as local participatory. This research emphasises on proper planning through face-to-face dialogue with farmers and landowners. In this regard, they collaborate in a participatory approach, as well as a technical and social team to implement the aquifer storage and recovery management.

Based on the Social Choice Theory (SCT), a new Decision Support System (DSS) is presented and employed to rank-order management alternatives (i.e. scenarios) in the water resources management system of Tehran metropolitan area, Iran. In the framework of the presented DSS, the quantitative characteristics of the stakeholders are taken into account to develop a decentralized decision-making method. An agent-based simulation model is employed to evaluate the outcomes of implementing each management scenario by calculating nine distinct environmental, social, and economic criteria over a 25-year simulation period. It is shown that the best scenarios selected by the DSS have merits to enhance the sustainability of the water resources in the study area, and to shift the stakeholders’ network towards cooperation and collaboration.

This paper presents a new framework for modeling the bargaining process among stakeholders by coupling social choice and bargaining methods. Based on this framework, two methods of evolutionary bargaining coupled with Borda count (BBC) and evolutionary bargaining coupled with pairwise voting (BPV) are proposed, and the results of applying them to resolve the challenging problems of allocating water and reclaimed wastewater in agricultural regions are analyzed. After proposing some candidate scenarios of allocating water and reclaimed wastewater, non-dominated scenarios are determined. Then, in the first level of bargaining, using a social choice technique, each stakeholder chooses the most desirable scenario out of the non-dominated ones, regardless of the utilities of other stakeholders. The selected scenarios by all stakeholders can provide them an estimate of other stakeholders' expected utilities. This enables each stakeholder in the next step of bargaining to suggest a scenario that improves their own utility, while providing a minimum acceptable utility of other stakeholders. If the bargaining results in more than one scenario, a social choice method is applied to find the most preferred scenario. The applicability and performance of the proposed framework are evaluated by applying it to the Varamin plain, in the south-east of Tehran, Iran.
