Water in Zayandehrud Dam Up 35% 

The water inflow into the Zayandehrud Dam in Isfahan Province since the beginning of the current water year (September 2022) has surpassed 527 mcm, which is 30% higher than the amount received in the same period of last year when 406 mcm of water had entered the dam, the director of operation and maintenance of the dam said.
“Considering a reduction in the dam’s outflow, currently 415 mcm of water are stored there, indicating a 35% rise compared with the 308 mcm it held this time of last year,” Seyyed Mojtaba Mousavi-Naeini was also quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
The rise in water inflow is due to the higher precipitation of recent months. The average rainfall in Kouhrang region, the main catchment area of the Zayandehrud River, has been 1,389 mm since last September, while last year it was 1,153 mm and the long-term average was 1,175 mm.
