Core Viewpoint - Iran is facing a severe water crisis, particularly in Tehran, where many public restrooms have been forced to close due to water shortages. The situation has raised significant concerns among the population regarding water and electricity supply [3][4]. Group 1: Water Supply Situation - The average water reservoir capacity in Iran is only about 44% of normal levels, with reservoirs supplying Tehran at a mere 20% capacity. This is reported to be the lowest level in a century [4]. - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has warned that if water conservation measures are not implemented, the reservoirs supplying Tehran could run dry by October [4]. Group 2: Climate and Environmental Factors - Since July, Iran has issued high-temperature warnings, leading to frequent water and electricity outages. The average temperature across Iran has been approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius higher than normal since the onset of summer [4]. - The country has been experiencing extreme heat due to global climate change, compounded by over-extraction of groundwater and poor management practices, resulting in a widespread water crisis [4].
