Abstract

Abstract
Introduction: Iran is located in arid and semi-arid climate and the rainfall in Iran is less than one-third of the world average. The agricultural sector is the main cause of water loss, as more than 90% of the water is consumed in this sector.
Methods: This study is a survey. Documentary method has also been used to develop theoretical records and empirical records.
Findings: The effects of water scarceness on social security feeling variable showed that 32.2% of its changes were explained by the model. There is a covariant relationship between external factors affecting the sense of collective security and the sense of intellectual security, as well as external factors affecting the feeling of surface water shortage and the sense of life security. On the other hand, the feeling of lack of surface water has a direct effect on the sense of intellectual security. The results of this study show that water scarcity has a direct impact on farmers' safety, based on the findings, the mean sense of social security and its dimensions among farmers in Fahlian plain which has better water resources status is more than the amount for Kharameh farmers who have poor water resources status, so water scarcity is effective in terms of financial, life, intellectual and collective.
