Abstract

Today, the issue of droughts and the water crisis in the Middle East, and especially in Iran, has created serious concerns in society. Drought is a serious threat to the survival of society and civilization in Iran, the way to deal with this phenomenon is an inevitable necessity. Correcting water resources management through a change in the agricultural approach to products with little or no need for water through the identification of indigenous, resistant plants and with pharmaceutical, economic and conservation applications can be a suitable and optimal way. The Calotropis procera shrub can be a good option because of its specific characteristics. This shrub has the potential to be known for pharmaceutical applications, pesticides, biofuels, industry and the environment. Due to its high adaptability to environmental conditions and pharmaceutical and industrial applications, it can be a very economical substitute for low-yield and high-consumption alternative products. On the other hand, the plant can be cultivated well in the land as well as inappropriate water for agriculture. Principal planning for the development of planting, rehabilitation, exploitation, and conservation of this plant in the natural and agricultural spheres can be an effective contribution to the creation and continuation of rural economies' exposure to water stress
