Abstract

Methodology: Climatic factors and elements play a role in hydropower and soil type and are very effective in the creation and development of dust. The data of 13 stations (climatology, rain gauge, and synoptic) were used in a 33-year period from 1368 to 1400, and the water balance of the province was estimated using the Thornth-White method. Two stations, Manjil and Rudkhan Castle, were chosen as models for dust production. The area of Gilan province is 13,790.5 square kilometers and the geographical location of Rudkhan Castle is 37°06'N 49°16'E and the height above sea level is 1677m, its area is 1052/28 km and Manjil is 36°46'N 49°30'E, the height from the sea is 263 and the area is 29/1072 km2. Gilan province is in the north of Iran with a geographical length of 35/50 to 32/48 and a width of 27/38 to 33/36 in the north with the Caspian Sea, in the east with Mazandaran province, in the south with Qazvin province, and in the west with Azerbaijan and Ardabil.

Findings: Soil moisture consumption in GIS environment was interpolated and mapped by kerjing method throughout Gilan, and two desired points (Manjil, Rudkhan Castle) with maximum and minimum consumption were determined on the map. Changes in soil moisture consumption are the most important icons influencing dust production.

Conclusion: In drier climatic regions - Manjil - the consumption of soil moisture increases and the conditions for the separation of soil particles are provided. Despite the fact that the wind blows in Manjil most of the year, it causes the production of dust and it gets worse in the hot season.
