Despite 300% Increse in Rainfall Tehran Dams Still in Deficit

Tehran received 46 millimeters of rainfall in the first 50 days of the autumn season, which shows a 300% increase compared to the 11mm of rain that fell in the corresponding period last year, said the managing director of Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company on Tuesday.
“We had a good start going into the current water year (began Sept. 23). However, the total volume of water in the five dams near the capital is close to 554 million cubic meters, which is still 150 mcm less than the amount in dams in the last water year,”
