Iran's Water Crisis and Its Impact on Tehran ^{CEFR B1}

Tehran’s water crisis has reached alarming levels. High temperatures and poor management have resulted in severe water shortages. The government has warned that if people do not reduce their water use, rationing may be needed soon. Presently, key dams that supply the city have very low water levels.

Experts state that years of drought, coupled with high consumption levels, have created a dangerous situation. The city’s infrastructure struggles with rising demand and cannot cope with the ongoing crisis. This has led to serious land sinking in some areas, which further complicates the problem.

Many past proposals to increase water supplies, like connecting seas or reviving old lakes, have failed. As urban migration continues and the situation deteriorates, Tehran faces a critical need for comprehensive solutions to secure its water future.
