Sistan and Baluchestan Province, especially Nikshahr City, is among the dry regions of Iran which makes it much more susceptible to drought compared with other regions. In order to address and alleviate this problem, we have to use the past experience and combine it with modern knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of the present applied, descriptive-analytical research was to study the role of indigenous knowledge in reducing the consequences of drought in the region under study. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The population of the research included all of the villages of Nikshahr and the sample, determined based on non-probabilistic sampling, included rural population whose age was at least 40. Simple random sampling was used for the distribution of questionnaires, and based on the Cochran’s formula, 308 questionnaires were identified. The results indicated that indigenous knowledge of water resources and indigenous knowledge of livestock moderately influence coping with drought, while indigenous knowledge of crop and garden highly influence it. The results also indicated that indigenous and traditional methods moderately influence the alleviation of the consequences of drought and management of water resources.
