Isfahan Wrestling With Worse Water Crisis

Isfahan Province has been suffering from drought for years. It is facing new problems this year due to decline in precipitation that has resulted in further reduction of surface water and groundwater, head of the provincial water company said.
“The severe decline rainfall in the central region this year has caused renewed concerns among the residents and irreparable damage has been inflicted on the farming sector,” IRNA quoted Hashem Amini as saying.
Precipitation since the beginning of the current water year (Sept 2020) has been 124 mm down 50% compared to the same period in the previous water year.
