Abstract
In many regions especially dry areas such as Iran, groundwater resources are the main sources of drinking and agricultural water. In areas where natural supply and discharge of aquifer are not balanced, the water table will be dropped and the quality and quantity of aquifer water will be affected. The aims of present study, was to use decision support tools to provide appropriate management method for artificial recharge of Hamedan-Bahar’s aquifer, using Boolean and Fuzzy pattern in GIS environment. Also, to provide a more economical solution, the possibility of using industrial wastewater treatment in the area, has been investigated. For this purpose, seven geographical information layers including slope, land use, surface infiltration, aquifer depth, aquifer quality, net feeding and transfer capability were interpolated. The resulted output maps  showed that according to Boolean pattern 2.34 percent of the lands (equivalent to 10.95 km2 of the aquifer) are located in the central and eastern areas and according to fuzzy pattern 9.44 percent of the lands (equivalent to 44.22 km2 of the aquifer) which are scattered distributed, rated very good in terms of artificial recharge of Hamedan-Bahar aquifer. Also, the results showed that the Bu-Ali industrial estate water treatment plan outlet can be used to recharge the aquifer.
