Abstract
The growing crises in the country's water resources have created cross-sectoral dimensions and profound threats to public health, the environment, and sustainable development. In a situation where the executive capacities of the responsible agencies are not sufficient to respond to these crises, the entry of supervisory and judicial institutions, especially the public prosecutor, within the framework of established laws, including Articles 46 of the Fair Water Distribution Law and 688 of the Islamic Penal Code, can play an effective role in controlling and correcting destructive processes. This note, using an analytical approach and examining several field experiences, addresses the role of this institution in dealing with water violations and crises and explains the existing legal capacities.
