According to the GMCR approach, 6 balanced sustainable scenarios in different climatic periods of the basin were presented. Finally, the results were generalized for choosing the best mode in the form of a scenario within the WEAP model; also, the results obtained from these scenarios were presented using the criteria of system performance assessment. On the basis of the findings, Scenario II was developed, comprising the application of new simultaneous management of demand and supply, restrictions in drawing water from water tables, new prioritization in stakeholder allocation and new water portion plans in the basin as the best scenario with 81.4% sustainability index.
