Water Demand in Tehran Intensifies

Potable water consumption in Tehran Province jumped to 626 million cubic meters in the last water year that ended on Sep 22, managing director of Tehran Regional Water Company said.
“This was up 8%, or 46 mcm, compared to the same period in 2018-2019,” ILNA quoted Seyed Hassan Razavi as saying.
Tehran received 462 millimeters of rainfall in the 365-day period (Sept 22, 2019 till Sept. 22, 2020), which was the highest level in the past 50 years. However, due to low snowfall water flow into five dams around the province fell by 15% to reach 2.2 billion cubic meters in the period.
