Abstract

Water is the source of life, production, work and construction and is known as the axis and one of the most significant factors of development. Today, one of the components of political power and military, economic, social and cultural security of countries is related to water security.

Crimes related to water resources refer to actions that, under certain circumstances, result in water pollution, encroachment, illegal exploitation, and so on. The importance of water resources protection is due to the fact that it is directly related to the health of "humans" and therefore the need to protect resources is reflected in various domestic, regional and international laws. In the end, it was concluded that despite the fact that Iranian policymakers are inspired by sharia law and also the requirements of adhering to international instruments in order to control the criminal phenomenon in the field of water, criminal and sometimes non-criminal ideas are used. However, it has a predominant meta-criminal perspective and, for various reasons, has not been very successful in controlling criminal behaviors and phenomena, as well as in responding.
