The increase in water demand due to population growth and the reduction of available conventional water resources due to climate change has caused the country's unconventional water resources, especially deep underground water resources, to be in the spotlight.The lack of sufficient information about deep water resources led to the identification and exploratory studies of these resources with the aim of explaining the country's situation in terms of their existence. In fact, in this research, we have briefly discussed the harmful environmental effects of deep water extraction in Iran for the sustainable development of the population. Therefore, we can conclude as follows; that in all the countries of the world underground water is called as strategic reserves; And the results of this research state that deep waters are usually referred to as water resources; which are located at a distance of about ۳۰۰ to ۱۲۰۰ meters from the ground; This is while the underground water is located at a depth of ۵۰ to ۳۰۰ meters. Scientific studies show that the majority of deep water resources are unusable and non-renewable and are divided into two parts, fossil and semi-fossil, which have a lifespan of nearly ۳,۰۰۰ years. In short, it can be stated; Statistics show that in the countries of Libya, Tunisia and Algeria, the amount of extraction from deep water resources has increased more than twice from ۱۹۵۰ to ۲۰۰۰, and these countries are now facing a serious subsidence crisis, the possible damages of which in the year ۲۰۲۲ is estimated at billions of dollars; And Iran can use the experiences of other countries before facing these irreparable crises.
