Water Crisis in Making in Iran
Journal Title: Grassroots Journal of Natural Resources - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 03
Abstract
Abstract: Iran is located in an arid and semi-arid region and is currently facing a serious water crisis. The climate change, droughts and political and economic problems are believed to have aggravated the water crisis. As a result, management solutions to resolve the water crisis are critically important. This paper discusses the current status of water resources in Iran and the root causes of water crisis, including population growth, inefficient agriculture, concurrent droughts and mismanagement of available water. If Iran wants to survive, it must prioritize water resources management in the country.
