Abstract
Water governance is a range of social, political, economic and administrative systems that manage and develop water resources and water transfer systems at different levels of society. Therefore, water governance is more about decision-making methods, such as how, by whom and under what conditions these decisions are made. One of the reasons for the failure of the development path is the lack of a national and indigenous paradigm for governing in accordance with social values and compatible with the cultural and historical conditions of Iran. This study investigates water governance in Iran by using a qualitative meta-analysis and provides a systematic formulation of them. Also using MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software, water governance qualitative analysis was performed in Iran. The articles are divided into three categories: what, why, and how, depending on what the topic or question is about water governance. Each researcher has used a different approach to designing their research based on individual point of view, so the totality of the research did not follow a single analytical procedure. Among the researches, the increase and dominance of the researches that have dealt with the questions of what and why water governance, it can be seen that such researches are more in the field of theorizing and do not lead to theorizing and presenting theories. However, a new model for water governance has been presented in a lesser way in researches. Therefore, it is necessary for the people of each country to formulate the method of development and progress of their country according to their conditions.
