| Zayanderud River has dried up |
Iran’s reservoirs are only 40 percent complete according to official figures, and nine cities which includes the capital Tehran are threatened with water restrictions after dry winter.
Several major bodies of water in the region have all but dried up, including the Zayanderud River and Orumiyeh Lake.
Lake Orumiyeh, a close to 145-kilometre-long (90-mile), 48-kilometre wide salt lake close to Iran’s northwest border with Turkey, is just about empty.
In the city of Isfahan, an ancient jewel extended dubbed 'half the planet' for its wonderful palaces, boulevards, bridges and mosques, the Zayanderud river that runs via it is often bone dry.
