Iran water resource management and crisis preparedness

Overview

Recent data indicates a complex water situation in Iran characterized by significant regional disparities. While national dam inflows for the 1405-1406 water year increased by 77 percent compared to the previous year, water scarcity persists in eastern and northeastern regions.

In Tehran province, reservoir levels vary widely. The Amir Kabir Dam reached 70 percent capacity, a 567 percent increase over the prior year, while the Lar Dam remains in a critical state at 3 percent capacity. Other regional reservoirs, such as the Taleghan and Latian dams, report levels between 29 and 39 percent.

In response to potential crises, authorities in Tehran conducted an emergency water supply and biological defense drill at Qasr Park. The exercise, involving Tehran's District 2 water and wastewater company and the ‘Mirab’ non-governmental organization, was designed to practice emergency distribution and water transfer processes to ensure service continuity during natural disasters or other emergencies.
