In recent years, our programs have not been scientific and based on a rational approach. Before the revolution, there were about thirteen dams in Iran;\u00a0but now, there are more than six hundred and fifty dams in the country. The situation is such that we have built a dam in the country every two weeks,\u201d Setar-e Sobh wrote.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">These dams were constructed by the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> for military purposes.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">According to Setar-e Sobh, \u201cThe construction of many dams dried the country\u2019s water resources. The water flowing in the river evaporates naturally. When this water is placed behind the dam walls, the evaporation increases. The amount of water consumed in the country is about one hundred and twenty billion cubic meters. This is while a quarter of this figure, 30 billion cubic meters,\u202fwill eventually evaporate.\u201d\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWhen there is no water in the dam, the turbine of the country\u2019s dams does not function, creating an environmental challenge. In some provinces of the country, such as Khuzestan, people face water shortages and electricity outages. The lack of water and power outages in different cities of the country has been due to mismanagement.
