Water Stored in Dams Hit 27.6 bcm, Down by 6% YOY

Statistics show that since the beginning of the current water year (Sept. 2021) until May 28, the total volume of water stored in dams across Iran has reached 27.6 billion cubic meters, which indicate a 6% fall compared with the same period of last year.
The decline in precipitation is the main factor behind the lower water level in dams. In fact, most dams across the country are in critical conditions.
Although the water level in most reservoirs has decreased, a small number of dams from a total of about 200 dams has experienced a rise in water volume, IRNA reported.
Shamil and Nian Dam in the southern Hormozgan Province tops the list.
