Drought and Water Shortage in Iran

The current drought in Iran has reached a critical level, threatening the water supply of millions and highlighting the severity of the country’s water management challenges. Exacerbated by climate change and poor planning, the situation raises serious humanitarian and environmental concerns. The crisis has been widely covered by the media.
