Water Scarcity in Tehran, Iran

Iran is on the fast track to severe water scarcity. The city’s per capita water use exceeds 400 liters each day, compared with a country-wide average of 250 liters per day. If this continues, Tehran’s water demand is estimated to be 1290 million cubic meters (MCM) per year by 2026. Source CircleOfBlue.org

Iran is a arid or semi-arid country, with a sub-tropical climate along the Caspian coast.

Deforestation, desertification , overgrazing and pollution from vehicle emissions and industrial operations have harmed the land over the last few decades and hampered production.

Other significant problems include poor cultivation methods, lack of water, and limited access to markets.

Iran’s agricultural sector is especially dependent on changes in rainfall, and although the government has attempted to reduce this dependence through the construction of dams, irrigation and drainage networks, agriculture remains highly sensitive to climate developments.

Still, the agricultural sector accounts for about one-fifth of the GDP and employs one-third of the workforce. The country’s most important crops are wheat, rice, other grains, sugar beets, fruits, nuts, cotton, and tobacco. Iran also produces dairy products, wool, and a large amount of timber.

Irrigated areas are fed from modern water-storage systems or from the ancient system of qanat. Qanat are underground water channels stretching up to 40 kilometers (26 mi) and first used at least 2000 years ago. Unfortunately, many of them have fallen into disrepair in recent years.
