Optimum use of renewable water resources is one of the economical goals of the governments. SUSTAINABLE development was considered as an active design process by the farmer that should focus on creating and maintaining adaptive capacities in order to tune the farm system to an everchanging environment. Because sustainability involves social, ecological and economic aspects, the farmer must be enabled to integrate soft and hard parameters in decision-making. The objective of the research described in this paper was to develop a model that helps decision makers to design a SUSTAINABLE agricultural system. MATHEMATICAL programming (MP) has been a widely used tool for studying and analyzing agricultural systems. As a result of this study of water SUSTAINABLE agriculture, we present lessons for future project development and policy formulation and reform. The results indicate that, with improving of IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY, groundwater resources level will be increased.

A B S T R A C T Sustainability in horticulture products depends on economic, social and environmental factors. Knowing these factors' sustainability levels can be effective in formulating SUSTAINABLE horticulture development strategies and their effect on the SUSTAINABLE livelihood of the user family. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the sustainability of horticulture products and their role in the livelihood of the beneficiary households in the villages of the central part of Bandar Gaz city. The required information was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire, the validity of which was obtained based on the opinion of relevant experts and the reliability of which was obtained by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.89. The statistical population of this research includes garden operators in three villages of Eastern Gaz, Western Gaz and Val Afra, which was calculated using Cochran's formula as a sample size of 250. A random sampling method was used to select research samples. To measure the sustainability of garden products, 45 indicators were used, separated by economic, social, and environmental dimensions, and 53 indicators were used, separated by economic, social, human, and environmental dimensions, to measure the SUSTAINABLE livelihood of the beneficiary household. According to the Spearman test, horticulture products' economic, social and environmental sustainability is effective in the SUSTAINABLE livelihood of the user family. The Kruskal-Wallis test results indicate that the beneficiaries' SUSTAINABLE livelihoods in the three studied villages have a significant difference up to the 99% confidence level. The results of the one-way independent variance analysis test on the cultivated area of three villages and horticulture income in three villages also stated a significant difference in these three factors up to the 99% level. Extended Abstract Introduction The most critical challenge in the world today is food security and providing essential human needs. The lack of balance between population growth and agricultural production has made developing countries face a serious challenge. SUSTAINABLE agriculture is an approach that meets human needs without harming the environment and uses natural resources better. SUSTAINABLE horticulture is a type of agriculture that is in the direction of human benefits, is more efficient in the use of resources, and is in balance with the environment. Horticulture activity in the category of SUSTAINABLE agricultural development, considering its nature and the positive aspects that govern this activity, in case of proper management, is superior in terms of not disrupting the ecological balance or at least due to little damage compared to agriculture. In fact, the benefits that can be listed for horticultural activities in order to achieve SUSTAINABLE agricultural development compared to agriculture are food supply and welfare facilities, storage and meeting the needs of other plants, growing crops under the shelter of trees, soil protection and green cover, air conditioning and increase of atmospheric precipitation, less consumption of chemical fertilizers and preservation of plant genetic resources. A SUSTAINABLE livelihood strategy is one of the new strategies that can help the villagers' problems. The SUSTAINABLE livelihood approach was proposed in the 1980s as a new approach to rural development to reduce and eradicate rural poverty. Livelihood is SUSTAINABLE when it can withstand unexpected pressures and damages and restore itself and improve its capabilities and capital in the future without harming natural resources. The main problem of the research is, what is the state of sustainability of the garden products system in the central villages of Bandar Gaz city? We are also trying to find out what effect the sustainability of garden products can have on the SUSTAINABLE livelihood of rural households. Bandar Gaz is one of the Golestan province's cities, located in the southeastern part of Gorgan. In terms of longitude and latitude, it is located between 53 degrees and 51 minutes to 54 degrees and 3 minutes of east longitude and 36 degrees and 39 minutes to 36 degrees and 49 minutes of north latitude. Bandar Gaz has a population of 20,742 people in 6,715 households, according to 2016.   Methodology This research is of applied type and descriptive-analytical and survey method, carried out in the 2018-2019 crop year. The main tools for data collection were questionnaires, observations and interviews. The statistical population of the research consists of 715 users of horticultural products. A random sampling method was exerted to select the samples, and 250 samples were selected based on Cochran's formula.   Results and discussion The Kruskal-Wallis test was exerted to investigate and compare the household's SUSTAINABLE livelihood level using gardens in the studied villages so that the results show a significant difference of 99%, 95% and 90% in the variables. The results show that the level of SUSTAINABLE livelihood is different in the three villages, so based on the results, the level of sustainability of horticultural products is also different in these three villages.   Conclusion The EFFICIENCY of horticultural work for support and investment in the village of East Gaz is more than the other two villages. The ability to buy housing, the amount of meeting health needs, the amount of willingness to migrate, and the amount of unemployed and employed people are more in West Gaz village. However, regarding the village's up-to-date architecture and the village houses' strength, there is a more favorable situation in the village of Eastern Gaz. The results of one-way analysis of variance ANOVA indicate a significant difference between the garden income of three villages among the examined components up to the 99% level.   Funding There is no funding support.   Authors’ Contribution The authors contributed equally to the conceptualization and writing of the article.

The design of a resilient and SUSTAINABLE supply chain network is a prolific field to be studied academically, which can potentially develop and affect supply chain performance. The innovation of this research is a closed-loop supply chain network by taking the sustainability, resilience, robustness, and risk aversion approach into consideration. A two-stage, mixed-integer linear programming is used for modeling and a robust counterpart model is utilized to encounter the demand uncertainties. The Conditional Value-at-Risk criterion is considered to model risk and compared with Value-at-Risk and average absolute deviation. Sustainability goals addressed in this research include minimizing the costs, CO2 emission, and energy, and maximizing the employment. The case study in this research is an automobile assembly company that has decided to set up a supply chain network. The LP-Metric method is applied to merge objectives and NEOS server is employed to attain an optimal solution in large scale. The constraint relaxation and fix-and-optimize are employed to produce the upper and lower bounds in medium and large scale. Results showed that the proposed model provides a better estimation of the total cost, pollution, energy consumption, and employment level compared to the basic model.

The challenges of water resources SUSTAINABLE development are enormous. Around the globe, the increasing use of water coupled with environmental deterioration calls for SUSTAINABLE development of the limited water resources. As a significant part of the world's population still lacks access to safe water and adequate sanitation, and as global urbanization continues to increase, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated and cooperative water resources management is required for the SUSTAINABLE future of urban areas. The objective of this study was to assess water resources sustairiable development for selected urban areas around the world. Using centralized databases of international agencies for the period of 1993 to 1998, urban information pertinent to water resources were collected, analyzed and modeled. The study database consisted of information regarding urban water accessibility, consumption, price, wastewater treatment, and other pertinent social, environmental and economic indicators. After preliminary evaluation of more than 350 cities around the globe, due to data inaccessibility, incompleteness and missing, 107 cities were selected for detailed analysis. The statistical analyses for the selected cities showed interesting results and relations in connection with urban water resources SUSTAINABLE development in different regions and countries. For the period of 1993 to 1998, elasticity of database variables were developed. Using elasticities, urban area rankings and addressing water resources SUSTAINABLE development were suggested. The developed elasticity and rankings were used in taxonomy of the selected 107 cities, and reflected considerable variations in urban water demand and supply development. As each urban area is unique in many historical, geographical, cultural, social, political, environmental and economic aspects, any comparative appraisal needs due consideration of local factors and issues. Nevertheless, the applied comparative appraisal methodology is suggested as a compliment to any other type of appraisal to enhance urban policies in support of SUSTAINABLE urban water resources development.

The control systems and related structures have an important role in water distribution in IRRIGATION networks, and the success of IRRIGATION networks highly depends on their proper functioning. Control structures behave differently under different control systems. Providing higher flexibility in water delivery and reducing water losses by application of downstream control systems is an important factor for performance improvement of IRRIGATION networks. One of the downstream control systems which is suitable for sloping canals is constant volume control system named BIVAL system. In this system while the water volume in canal reaches is kept constant, demand variation is satisfied quickly and canal earthwork is reduced. In order to study hydraulic behavior of IRRIGATION canals in coordination with control systems which is unsteady, using hydrodynamic model is inevitable. In this research MATHEMATICAL model of constant volume downstream control system (BIVAL) is developed and linked with ICSS model. For calibration and evaluation of developed model on local and global scale, El-RI branch of Dez canal network in Iran and the standard canal introduced by ASCE are chosen respectively. Each system was calibrated in wide ranges of different flow rate and different values of numerical coefficients and the proper coefficients were derived. Afterward each one of control systems were operated under different operational schedule and performance indices, MAE (Maximum Absolute Error), IAB (Integral of Absolute Error) and SRT (System Response Time) in 5% and I% levels were computed. Performance indices for a reach with highest variation derived as 2.57, 0.28 and 0 respectively. Depth, flow rate and gate opening fluctuations for local testing, and depth fluctuations for global testing at middle of reaches are calculated and depicted. Performance indices and hydraulic behavior of the system indicates proper functioning of the developed model.
