The water crisis in Iran

Iran, July 4, 2018 – Economy experts are describing the severe water shortage crisis in Iran as one of this country’s super challenges, highlighting the scope and importance of this subject.

Among 116 countries Iran is ranked 14th in the water crisis.

Kerman Province in the south-central region of Iran is known for its pistachio farms, especially in the cities of Kerman, Rafsanjan, and Sirjan. Pistachio production has dropped by more than 50 percent while this province used to provide more than 80 percent of Iran’s pistachios. Estimates indicate pistachio farming in Kerman Province will fall to zero in the next decade.

The regime’s own Mehr news agency reports less than 40 percent of Iran’s 66 large dams to have water these days. Furthermore, more than 80 percent of the country’s wetlands have dried, now becoming fountains of enormous dust storms across the country.
