NCRI – Deputy Director of Iranian regime Ministry of Energy\u2019s Water and Wastewater Planning Office has acknowledged that Iran\u2019s water conditions have reached an ultra critical level.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a country uses up to 40 percent of its renewable water resources, it\u2019s considered to be in an acceptable state\u201d, said Hedayat Fahmi, adding \u201cbut if the figure reaches 40-60 percent, then the country is faced with a water crisis. If, however, renewable water usage is between 60-80 percent, the country is in a critical water condition. A renewable water usage of more than 80 percent shows an ultra critical state, so that we could say that Iran with its 88 percent of renewable water usage is now in such a state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Water crisis turning into a security issue<\/strong><\/p>\n Acknowledging Iran\u2019s critical water conditions, head of regime parliament\u2019s security committee \u2018Alaeddin Boroujerdi\u2019 said July 1 \u201cwater crisis has practically turned into a security issue, so that we were forced to form a Water Security Committee in parliament\u2019s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n Boroujerdi said during his visit to Mashhad\u2019s marginal areas \u201cthe country has very limited water resources, so that we are among the world\u2019s most water-stressed countries. We are faced with a water crisis which has turned into a security issue, so that we were forced to form a water security committee in parliament\u2019s national security and foreign policy commission. Meanwhile, wastewater is pouring into many rivers across the country, thereby ruining the healthy water. \u201c<\/p>\n Water crisis in Sistan and Baluchestan<\/strong><\/p>\n Accoriding to reports, many cities and villages in Iran\u2019s biggest province \u2018Sistan and Bluchestan\u2019 are faced with severe water disruptions, so that water tanks are employed to bring water to villages that are farther away and close to border. Meanwhile, many villages have become uninhabited due to lack of water, with their residents forced to immigrate.<\/p>\n Severe drinking water scarcity and water disruption in Delgan, southwestern Sistan and Baluchestan province, has led to widespread dismay and protest among residents.<\/p>\n According to state-media reports on June 22, lack of water in Delgan\u2019s villages is one of the most serious problems people are faced with in such overwhelmingly hot summer days.<\/p>\n \u201cWater disruption lasts four to five days sometimes\u201d, says one of the residents, \u201cwhich is quite disturbing considering the unprecedented heat wave.\u201d<\/p>\n It should be pointed out that while residents of Delgan\u2019s villages are faced with water scarcity, the area is rich with groundwater resources, referred to as a jewel hidden deep inside the ground. Water crisis in Kuhdasht, Lorestan province<\/strong><\/p>\n Reports coming from Lorestan on Wednesday June 28 say that most villages across the province are suffering water scarcity while the government is incapable of providing 597 villages with water.<\/p>\n According to head of regime\u2019s Water and Wastewater Company in Lorestan, supplying water for 597 villages in the province is left unfinished as the company has run out of funds.<\/p>\n Protest rally in Ardebil for lack of water<\/p>\n According to reports, residents of \u2018Boodjeh Sofla Aslandouz\u2019, a village in Ardebil province, closed the road on Tuesday June 27 to protest about lack of drinking water.<\/p>\n Also in Pishva, Varamin, residents of Felestin and Taleghani streets as well as Shahidgah and Gharakord districts gathered in front of regime\u2019s governor building, demanding that the water crisis in the area be dealt with.<\/p>\n Regime is in crisis in all areas. The environment, for instance, has turned into a huge crisis due to regime\u2019s destructive policies.<\/p>\n Excessively digging deep wells and using groundwater resources besides regime\u2019s failing to set up water distribution networks have caused citizens to suffer severe water scarcity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NCRI – Deputy Director of Iranian regime Ministry of Energy’s Water and Wastewater Planning Office has acknowledged that Iran’s water conditions have reached an ultra critical level. “If a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-23139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-society","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"\n
