Due to the regime\u2019s negligence and refusal to develop Iran\u2019s agriculture, Iranian farms are still irrigated using inappropriate and outdated methods. As a result, more than 80% of the water resources consumed in the agricultural sector are lost, amounting to between 54 and 55 billion cubic meters per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main reasons for Iran\u2019s water crisis is the construction of unscientific dams by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and its front companies, primarily for military purposes. Before the 1979 revolution, there were only 30 dams across Iran. However, according to regime officials&#8217; statistics, there are now <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/an-in-depth-look-at-irans-water-crisis-and-its-cause\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more than 1,330 dams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at various stages of operation, implementation, and study. Additionally, the IRGC has been responsible for digging deep wells. Before the revolution, there were only 36,000 wells in Iran, but official reports in 2015 indicated at least 794,000 wells across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">July 2021-Thursday marked the 8th consecutive day of protests in Khuzestan province over water shortages and the Iranian regime\u2019s destructive policies.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wUEBhad5P8\">pic.twitter.com\/wUEBhad5P8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1418309236702994433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many aspects of daily life, such as food production, power generation, manufacturing, and sanitation, depend on water.

Despite adequate rainfall and natural water flows, poor water management has led to significant shortages. The Deputy Minister of Energy for Water and Water Supply and Wastewater Affairs reported that 300 out of 1,400 cities in the country are currently experiencing water stress. Additionally, the CEO of Iran Water and Wastewater highlighted that 272 cities face similar issues, and 10,000 villages rely on portable water supply tanks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As summer approaches, several Iranian provinces, including Tehran and Sistan and Baluchestan, are experiencing significant water shortages and outages despite earlier promises from government officials of improved water balance due [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":311243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[290],"class_list":{"0":"post-320234","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anews","8":"tag-iran-environment"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
