DESCRIPTION:Event Series:Institutional Grammar Research Initiative | IGRI R
 esearch Seminar Series | August 2025Presenter:Arezoo Mirzaei | Martin Luth
 er University Halle-WittenbergAbstract:Groundwater management in Iran is c
 omplex\, challenged by exacerbating water scarcity and groundwater depleti
 on. Despite changes in the country’s water policies and laws\, groundwater
  depletion has intensified. This study analyses two key groundwater laws\,
  the Equitable Distribution of Water Resources Law and the Ta’een Taklif L
 aw\, to systematically identify the challenges within these laws that may 
 accelerate depletion. Using Institutional Grammar\, the laws were analyzed
  according to ADICO components: Attribute\, Deontic\, alm\, Condition\, Or
  else (ADICO). The analysis reveals that both laws are norm-based\, with l
 imited enforcement mechanisms. Attribute Components reveal a government-ce
 ntric approach\, making the government the primary actor and well users pa
 ssive. alm components indicate that unauthorized wells\, part of the curre
 nt problematic situation\, may eventually be legalized. Condition Componen
 ts are vague and contradictory\, hindering effective enforcement. While th
 e laws establish obligations (Deontic)\, they lack specified penalties (Or
  else) for non-compliance. The paper concludes with the need for a compreh
 ensive change in water policy leading to laws that maintain a balanced int
 egration of norms and rules to create a robust groundwater management.
