Abstract
Governments were stronger than society in the water sector due to their organizational dominance. The results of water and its reduction due to excessive consumption by societies make water play an essential role in the relations between the government and the nations. Strong governments are due to having decision-making tools and general policies and important strategies in the field of reforming consumption patterns, as well as using their power to rely on people for no reason from rentier incomes, easy resource extraction and distribution. Among the stakeholders, bureaucracy, the existence of government parties and closing the space of civil society caused the isolation and weakness of the society. Therefore, the main question of the research is what are the possible scenarios and trends of the government and society in water relations in Iran? The findings of the research show that the government in Iran has weakened the society due to its ability to penetrate and extract resources, the ability to regulate social relations and allocate resources. The factors that have strengthened the government in Iran are: transferring water basins, issuing permits, water purification, structural policy, pricing policy, obtaining branch permits, increasing population and raising the standard of living, growing agriculture and industries, resolving conflicts between water applicants. , creating economic and cultural-social incentives. The theoretical framework is water governance and future research, and trend analysis and scenario writing methods are used.
