Today, knowledge in the field of soil and water in necessary, and due to its good performance and in particular ensuring consistency and maintaining ecological balance, support and participation of the people is important. In recent years, we will need it to access technology and know-how to collect and compile appropriately given the importance of indigenous knowledge. For indigenous knowledge to be able to meet many of the needs of growing communities and sustainable use of limited resources, it will be naturally needed. To achieve the proper knowledge, indigenous knowledge is possible only through a combination of formal knowledge. So in the current situation, it is essential that any action to collect and utilize indigenous knowledge and combine it with modern science be done. Due to climatic constraints, several measures have been carried out on the use of water and soil resources and exploitation of rain in the Hormozgan province, Iran. It is typical Nezoo recharges wells, which are in fact part of a flood management system. It exists as a series of dams and erosion control structures and recharge wells in the Gazir village of Bandar Lengeh. The age of the system is unknown, but it may be more than a hundred years old. However, this system exists in many areas of the plains and in fact, the past of this country's science and technology showcase in conjunction with indigenous knowledge watershed management and rainwater harvesting. In fact, this collection is a unique collection in the province and is rare in Iran. The system has been fully operational until about 50 years ago, according to local resident, but now only a part of it works. Hundreds of years ago, local people have been living in the desert, due to the droughts and geological formations (which indicate that  the quality of water is poor) have developed a method that brings water to groundwater aquifers directly. Today, they recharge groundwater using indigenous knowledge and combining it with modern science. The result of this combination has been improved the quantity and quality of groundwater. So that the electrical conductivity of water from has declined from 7000 to 3000 &mus /cm over 2 months and   water wells downstream are sweeter and they have reinforced the water table.

In undeveloped and less developed countries of arid zones, the easiest way for water supply is withdrawal of groundwater. The negative perception of this method of water discharge is clear. Floodwater Spreading is one of the water resources management strategies in arid and semi-arid zones that has positive impacts on groundwater resources. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the impact of floodwater spreading on quantity of groundwater in Hashtbandi Plain, minab, Hormozgan province, Iran. Annual changes of water level were determined by reviewing water level of monthly data (2003-2014) of five observation wells. Though the floodwater spreading may not stop the aquifer drop, it has reduced the drop intensity of groundwater level. Results show that the least drop is in observation wells 25 that is near floodwater spreading. The results have shown that before implementing the water spreading project, fluctuation of groundwater levels were proportional to the utilization of groundwater resources, showing a declining rate. After implementing the project, a turning point on groundwater level was observed. However, in the years 2011-2012 due to drought and lack of water filling utilization plan and increased ground water usage, water level has decreased sharply.

Notes to investigate and identify problems in the implementation of research projects the effect of water spreading on water resources, the importance of methods, performance and results of research carried out previously necessary. Looking for station research, education and extension Floodwater spreading in the country, Monitoring and monitoring of various factors, including the monitoring of water resources is also on the agenda. In this paper, we investigate various sources of internal and external quantitative and qualitative parameters of water resources evaluated and is considered to reach the target. Investigation records show that during the past years in various parts of the country related research projects have been implemented or are under implementation. The results of this study indicate that the static level rise and increases in most stations control the water level in piezometer wells and aqueducts that our agriculture and increasing the flow. Plan spreading in many parts of the country and alleviate the effects of drought and sometimes neutralize it.

Today, attention to indigenous knowledge in the field of water and soil has great importance due to its special functions, high compatibility, and ability to maintain ecological balance and promote popular participation. Since the ancient times, people of Hormozgan province have used different ways of utilizing water and soil resources and harvesting rainwater, due to the climate limitation that exist in this area. One of the most prominent examples are the Darband and Kashband structures in the eastern parts of Hormozgan province. Today, these structures are referred to as household economic units in the Bashagard region of Hormozgan. Darband and Kashband are indigenous structures of watershed management in Hormozgan province. These types of structures are made in mountainous areas by natives of the region to create a cultivation area. In the local legal system, the streams and green valleys created by Darband and Kashband have a certain owner. Darbands are constructed as short transverse check dams perpendicular to the flow of water, with a height of approximately 1 to 1.5 meters. Increasing the height of these structures is possible after sedimentation and planting in the following years. The result of Kashband construction is the creation of new lands and suitable cultivation beds on the margins of rivers, along with maintaining soil moisture. This method increases soil moisture and plant growth. Mostly, Darbands and Kashbands are made with rocky materials without cement. However, Darbands with a height of 2.5 to 3 meters are made with rock and cement. The most important agricultural products that are cultivated behind these structures are palm, garlic and citrus. Most of these structures exist in Bashagard region and also parts of the Minab region. Bashagard region includes basins of Jagin and Gabrik reservoir dams. According to available information, more than 4,000 structures (Darband and Kashband) were constructed in the Bashagard district. The results of this study show that this kind of indigenous knowledge has a very long history in the Bashagard area. Therefore, utilizing the economic capacity of the streams with the participation of the people can be very important as a native model in soil and water conservation and as a source of jobs for watershed residents.
