Plains Run Dry

Despite the good rains since last year, 75% of the country's plains remain dry, director general of water conservation affairs at Iran Water Resources Management Company said.
"The impact of rainfall in the past water year (Sept 2018-August 2019) on many plains across the country (central, eastern and northeastern plateaus) has been meager and major parts of the plains are completely dry,” IRNA quoted Abdollah Fazeli as saying.
Although last year's rainfall was good, it affected a small portion of the aquifers,” Fazeli said.
