Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1- There are grammatical problems in some parts of the article. The submitted article needs to be reviewed by a translator. 2- In the abstract and summary presented in this article, it is necessary to present the contents in a more transparent manner. 3- The geographical coordinates of the subject area are mentioned in a part of the article. It is necessary to refer to an authoritative reference in the text of the article. 4- Even though the disadvantages of the reverse well method are mentioned in this article, why is this method used to calculate the hydraulic conductivity coefficient? 5- The interpretation of the results of the amberthermic diagram is mentioned in a part of the article in order to determine the type of climate of the study area. It is suggested to add this diagram to the article for better understanding. 6- Numerical values of the distance between drains in different numerical models are given in Table No. 5 and the numerical values of the MAE-σ parameter are given in Table No. 6. Can you provide auxiliary tables (separate from this article) that confirm the correctness of these numbers? 7- In a part of the article, the meteorological data of the studied area is mentioned. The annual rainfall is 305 mm per year. Is it correct to check the amount of rainfall between 1996-2016? It is believed that this number needs to be revised. Can you provide a source that confirms the meteorological data in the mentioned years? 8- The numerical results obtained from the mathematical models presented in this article should be compared with the measured values in the study area.
