Increasing population growth, urbanization,  lifestyle changes along with improving the welfare and health expectations of communities during the last three decades on the one hand and the increasing limitation of renewable and quality water resources, on the other hand, have led to increasing demands, competition, tensions and social conflicts between water users. In order to provide the integrated water resources management plan, to resolve  social disputes, to achieve prosperity and employment, to reduce migration, poverty and social deprivation and to provide health for public, the country is in a difficult situation.

 In response to the integrated water resources management, its needs and developments, Behan Sadd Consulting Engineering Company has given the social aspects of water resources development projects new approaches and credits.

Today, with the expansion of integrated and systematic studies in drainage basins, Behan Sadd Company has taken on more responsibilities in this field. Considering the importance of basic studies of the projects including dams, irrigation and drainage, water and wastewater, and integrated water resources projects and in line with achieving the goals in the domestic water industry projects and the international water resources; now, employing several experienced experts in the water industry, the company is advancing in this field.

Development projects are like the pulse of the society’s economy. By the credit of these projects, the investments of the government, and private sectors will lead to economic growth. Activities related to the country’s development projects are mainly pursued after forming socio-economic development plans and are financed from public revenues related to the government’s budget. Therefore, the success of the mentioned projects depend on the accuracy of economic studies.

Rapid development changes in the country and the effect of these changes on the infrastructure, strengthening the planning bases of the projects from the perspective of economical and financial studies, emphasing on sustainable developments, and economical look to the environmental aspects of projects along with legal emphases on development programs have led the company to use the services of experienced experts and engineers to perform all consulting services and to prepare and formulate economical justification plans, financial analysis, and environmental and economical evaluation.

In activities related to water and wastewater treatment, some of the most experienced experts and technicians are engaged in performing engineering services from the feasibility stage to design, operation and maintenance. Services such as feasibility studies, preliminary design, detail design, supervision on construction phases, supervision on operation and maintenance phases, project management, Engineering Procurement Construction services (EPC, EP, DB) of projects are the scopes of activities in this company.

Project management is the fourth loop of the projects’ chains of executive agents and one of the responsibilities delegated to consulting engineers.

In the early years after the Islamic Revolution, it was not preferred by the executive branches and was forgotten in many cases. By the start of construction activities on one hand and due to the privatization and the transition of some of the activities carried out by government agencies to the private sectors, on the other hand, the use of consulting engineers to present project management services were on the agenda of government agencies.

Behan Sadd Consulting Engineers has been in this field since its establishment and has been responsible for managing huge projects.

Since the 1990s, water management has expanded to include efficient use of water, fair sharing of the benefits, and environmental sustainability. This approach was quickly contrasted with structural or one-dimensional views on water resources development but later was used as a tool to improve integrated water resources management plan.

The approach in integrated water resources management or IWRM is currently receiving special attention in the form of integrated water resources management plan in this consultant. Consequently, they are being implemented at the level of comprehensive drainage basin plans and provincial master plans.

In integrated water resources plans , the layout of disciplines are in line with inter-disciplinary approaches and integrated management processes. And finally, the outputs of studies at the desired level and depth (scale of studies) will respond to water management decisions and to provide structural-managerial solutions to provide reliable and desirable needs. While advancing towards development-oriented goals, it also ensures the sustainability of environmental and man-made systems.
