Iran’s capital faces summer water strain despite recent rain, official says
Tehran’s dam reserves remain worrying despite recent rainfall, and the capital will need public and government cooperation to get through the summer, a city council official said on Tuesday.
Mehdi Pirhadi, head of Tehran city council’s health, environment and urban services committee, said recent rainfall had not restored reservoirs supplying the capital to acceptable levels.
He said nearly 10 provinces, home to about 35 million people, still faced rainfall shortages compared with long-term averages.
