Tehran is facing a worsening water crisis as years of drought, poor infrastructure, and overuse push Iran’s capital toward severe shortages. Residents across multiple districts say water pressure has dropped to a trickle, with some neighborhoods reporting completely dry taps for days.
Authorities have urged citizens to conserve, but growing frustration is palpable on Tehran’s streets. Many residents are queueing for hours at public taps or relying on expensive bottled water as the crisis intensifies.
Iran’s Energy Ministry acknowledged the strain on reservoirs, blaming prolonged drought conditions and declining rainfall for record-low water levels across major dams. Officials also cited mismanagement, outdated irrigation systems, and rising urban demand as key factors worsening the situation.
