Abstract
Drought is a gradual and creeping phenomenon and including a period of abnormal and dry weather conditions, to be Durable enough arises a serious imbalance in regional hydrological situation. Iran due to its geographical and climatic characteristics as many of Middle East and North Africa countries is suffering from an ongoing drought. According to unintended and negative consequences of the complex and multidimensional phenomenon of drought on the growth and development of communities and the other hand, the drought potential in iran, Devise directional mechanisms to coping, control and management of drought is necessary. Significant gap between coordination and sharing of knowledge and information has always been one of the missing links in the crisis management of natural disasters such as drought. Therefore, knowledge management can play an important role in crisis management of drought. During the drought crisis, the experiences of involved organizations and individuals in managing the crisis and record these experiences causes to understand organizations its mistakes and begin enterprise-wide training to Facilitates acquisition, Formalization and sharing of the crisis management. The aim of the paper is to evaluate and prioritize the key success factors of knowledge management based on criterions of effective drought management in Iran. The results show that the use of ICT tools, is the most important success factor in drought management.
