Abstract
In Tehran province of Iran, Taleghan basin is one of subsidiary basin of sefidrood catchment basin consist of 19 subsidiary basins. Each of which reflected as a self regulating hydrological branch. Taleghan catchment alienated into 28 hydrological sub-basins. By using GIS method inclined regions of catchment categorized into five classes. Geology, morphology, climatic conditions, temperature, snow pack, climatic regime, relative humidity, potential evaporation also studied and discussed in this chapter. Soil of Taleghan categorized into 11 classes. Water resources reflected as one of the key resource of providing water for several practices like agriculture, drinking and industry. Three orogenic and tectonic uplifts during Pre-Cambrian (some 350 million years ago), Mesozoic (150 million years ago), and Cenozoic (72 million years ago) Periods have shaped existing structural topographies of the Taleghan Catchment, parting sedimentary and volcanic rock systems in the region.
