He evaluated the current water policy in Iran, and argued that the controversial and expensive hydro-infrastructures cannot be the solution to address the national water storage, but leading to additional ecological devastation, intercommunal conflict and confrontation.

Dr. Allan Hassaniyan @AllanHassaniyan introduced the imbalanced water resource allocation in #Iran, criticized the ignoration of water security from Iranian government during the industrial development, link #waterstress to #environmental #racism.

New submissions, or proposals for special issues, that address these topics from physical geographers and their colleagues are welcome to PiPG journal.

They consider the new approaches physical geographers may engage further in #personalised and #InternetOfThings monitoring, artificial intelligence #AI, innovative technologies for teaching physical geography, the study of #HumanClimate impacts
