In this research, the sustainability status of groundwater resources management of 184 aquifers in the Central Plateau Basin of Iran has been assessed based on four quantitative indicators that can be implemented according to the available data. For this purpose, monthly quantity and quality data of groundwater resources, mean recharge rate, pumping rate of exploitation wells, streamflow of hydrometric stations and demographic information were used. The indicators used in this research included the integrated groundwater footprint (environmental dimension), population density at the aquifer level (social dimension), the percentage of groundwater used for agricultural and industrial sectors (economic dimension) and the density of observation wells (institutional dimension), which were calculated for all aquifers during the period of 2000 to 2016. According to the calculated values of four indicators, the ranking of aquifers was performed by PROMETHEE II technique and pairwise comparison of indicators. The results of this research showed that the sustainable management of groundwater resources in the Central Plateau of Iran, especially near the megacities, is relatively weak due to higher population density, less exploitation of groundwater resources for agriculture and industry, weak groundwater monitoring network, drastic groundwater level drop and inappropriate quality of groundwater. The results showed that 17.4% of the studied aquifers were evaluated with good sustainability and 32.6% with poor sustainability. The results of this research are important in order to identify and prioritize the aquifers that need to adopt new policies or revise them to achieve sustainability in the exploitation of these valuable resources.
