Agent-based socio-hydrological modeling for restoration of Urmia Lake: Application of theory of planned behavior

•The agent-based modeling and theory of planned behavior have been combined for socio-hydrological modeling.•The proposed socio-hydrological framework has been applied for simulation of Zarrineh River discharge to Urmia Lake.•The proposed socio-hydrological framework could effectively be used to simulate the farmers’ general behavior on their agricultural decision-making process.
