Karon river
If the water shortage crisis in the country persists, around 

70% of Iranians or a population close to 50 million will have

to leave to survive, a deputy of Hassan Rouhani says. 

Isa Kalantari referred to the deteriorating condition of water 

shortage in the country and the weak management and said:

“The present water crisis in Iran began some 10 years ago. 

By using around 97% of its surface water almost all rivers 

have dried up.”
