The head of the Tehran Province Water Company issued a public appeal this evening for residents to cut their daily water consumption by 65 liters per person, citing current average use of about 195 liters per person per day against a target of 130 liters. The statement, carried by Iranian Telegram channels, frames the reduction as achievable with continued public cooperation and suggests the summer months can be managed without a severe crisis if the trend holds.
Iran has faced repeated water stress in recent years, with drought, aging infrastructure, and high consumption rates straining supplies, particularly in the capital. The utility's call comes during the summer demand peak and amid broader economic pressures on households. No mandatory rationing has been announced.
