Water shortage in Tehran

Tehran could be evacuated due to water shortages if it does not rain by the end of the year, President Masoud Pezheskian warned in a televised address.

Iran is facing its worst drought in decades this year. In Tehran, the phenomenon is “unprecedented in a century,” a local official said in October.

"If it doesn't rain, we will have to start rationing water in Tehran around the end of November or the beginning of December," the president said in a speech broadcast on state television.

"If it doesn't rain by then, we will have a water shortage and we will have to evacuate Tehran," he continued, without giving details on how this could happen in a metropolis of ten million people.

The director of the capital's water company, Behzad Parsha, said last Sunday that the city could run out of drinking water within two weeks. The Amir Kabir Dam, one of five that supplies Tehran with drinking water, contains "only 14 million cubic meters of water, or 8% of its capacity," he said, according to the official IRNA news agency.

Water consumption decreases

On Wednesday, the regional director of the water company, Mohsen Ardakani, said on state television that Tehran residents had reduced their water consumption by 10% in the past six months. “If we reach 20%, we will be able to keep the situation stable for one or two months, until it rains,” he said.

The climate in Tehran is dry and hot in the summer. Autumn sometimes brings rain, while winters can be harsh, with heavy snowfall. For economic reasons, water supplies have been cut off in many neighborhoods of the city recently, as they often do during the summer, local media reported. In July and August, during a heat wave, two days were declared holidays to save water and energy.

According to the Tasnim news agency, the amount of rainfall in Iran this year has dropped to 152 millimeters, or 40% of the average over the past 57 years. In some provinces, the amount of rainfall has decreased by 50-80%, said Mohammad Reza Kavanpour, head of the Water Research Institute, warning that the country “must prepare for a critical situation.”
