Abstract
Security complex represents a unique group of countries where the process of "security building" and "making insecure" or both for this group of countries are increasingly related with each other. In other words, their main security concern is so intertwined that their security problems cannot be solved independently. Thus conceived, "hydropolitic complexes" include those countries which are geographically the owner and from technical point of view, are the user of part of the shared river. In fact, a group of the countries which are considered to be part of a region due to their water resources (rivers, lakes and aquifers), would have no common geographical borders but their "national security" and "hydropolitic security" are so interrelated that their security and hydropolitc problems cannot be resolved without their cooperation. The methodology of current descriptive-analytic study focused on Mesopotamia and Hirmand drainage basins (in parts of Iran), is grounded on the hypothesis that in a hydropolitic complex in the same way that the threatening of water security of each one of the member states might lead to the threatening of national security of other members, some threats can be posed against the water security of each one of the member states due to the threatening of the national security of other members. The data required for this research have been collected using library sources (books, journals and internet). The results of this study showed that how hydropolitic security is endangered following the eruption of insecurity in Afghanistan. At Tigris and Euphrates Basin, the climate changes and Turkey's inattention to hydropolitic security of Syria (by closing the floodgates of the dams) provided the ground for the emergence of internal crisis in Syria, and its reverberations posed serious threats against the security of Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

Abstract
Land subsidence negatively affects infrastructure, humans, and the environment. Since climate change intensifies the hydrological cycle and the severity of climate extremes (floods, droughts, and fires) and poses a serious threat to the security of water resources, the study of the interaction between these important factors became important. In recent years, despite the issue of climate change and its impact on water security and land subsidence being raised in scientific, political, and media circles, the dimensions of this issue have remained unknown and have yielded different interpretations. The present study, which is of an applied nature and the required data were collected through a library method with the aim of achieving qualitative knowledge about the dimensions and angles of the climate change cycle, water security, and land subsidence in the Zayandeh Rood watershed, aims to identify the gaps in this field in addition to specifying the content and methodological features using a qualitative meta-analysis method. This study, using the qualitative meta-analysis method, examined 45 studies conducted between 2005 and 2014 in the form of domestic scientific research articles, theses and dissertations, and articles in reputable international journals. The results of the study showed that no comprehensive study has been conducted that has examined and analyzed the various dimensions of the climate change cycle, water security, and land subsidence in the Zayandeh Rood watershed. In this regard, the lack of accurate and real data is one of the shortcomings of the research conducted in this field.
