Water consumption in Tehran has surpassed 40,000 liters per second or 3 billion liters per day, up 11% compared to the hot summer days when consumption peaks at 2.7 billion liters.
The National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) has appealed to residents to avoid waste and postpone spring cleaning, ISNA reported.
Nonetheless, statistics show most households have so far largely turned a deaf ear to the warning and they are busy cleaning their houses and washing their carpets to welcome the Norouz (Iranian New Year) holiday season that starts on March 21.
