| Abstract | ||
| Proper use from water resources, especially in arid and semi arid rangeland are very important. Water is one of a valuable ecosystem component in rangeland management. In this study for surveying of water suitability, tree models including quality model, quantity and distance model made final model. FAO (1991) method (recommended for land capability evaluation) was used for suitability classification. The study was conducted in Halvan region is located in Yazd province. According to the results, water resources distance and accessibility to water is the most declining factor for suitability. Quality factor is a limiting factor in part of the study area, too. Based up on, areas more than 15km far from water point are not suitable, but less than 6km are very suitable. Proper distribution of water resources increases water suitability and cause better and monotonous utilization of rageland. | ||
