Abstract: The environmental crisis and the destruction of natural resources is one of the problems of twenty-first century, due to the available resources, in terms of limitations, have forced humanity to think of ways to combat this trend. Therefore, the water resources planning and management, as well as sustainable development and optimal use of natural resources, has led to the human use of optimization methods and techniques. Water crisis, increasing water demand, and the occurrence of intermittent droughts, saving water consumption, and efficient use, it is necessary to use appropriate optimization techniques can be helpful in this regard. Numerous studies have been conducted to achieve effective use of available resources without harming the assets and resources of future generations using optimization methods. Limited freshwater resources, on the one hand, and growing demand, on the other, are exacerbating people’s concerns about water resources. Therefore, the importance of planning the optimal use of surface and groundwater is increasing. The unnecessary and inappropriate groundwater harvesting has occurred over the last few years it is a serious threat to water resources, which drastically affects the environment, especially in dry and semi-arid areas. Using the concept of optimization, which is the most appropriate output value of a system due to its constraints, it can be concluded that optimizing water resources is one of the best ways to conserve water resources.
