Tehran Water Crisis: More Rains But No Solace

Higher precipitation in recent days has not defused Tehran’s water crisis that continues to worsen, head of the Base Studies Department in the provincial water company said.
“Average rainfall in the province has reached 167 millimeters since September (beginning of the current year)” Mohammadreza Khaniki was quoted as saying by ILNA.
Despite the rise, water wells in Tehran are in such bad shape that little in anything can improve with good rains in one or two years, he added.
