Tehran water utility warns crisis persists as five dams hold less than 20% water
Tehran’s water utility spokesperson said rainfall recorded through the previous morning totaled about 56.5 millimeters, one-fifth of normal, and water storage behind Tehran’s five dams was below 20%. The spokesperson warned that the water crisis had not ended and urged continued responsible consumption. Residents’ cooperation over the past seven months and 15 days had enabled savings of about 85 million cubic meters of water, the spokesperson said.
