Iran's Water Crisis Forces Closure of Public Toilets in Tehran
Iran is grappling with an escalating water crisis that has led to severe shortages and extended power outages. The situation has reached a tipping point, prompting the government to close public toilets in Tehran and consider drastic measures, such as relocating the capital.
Citizens are facing significant hardships as reservoirs dry up, diminishing the water supply for the city. Meanwhile, neighboring Turkey is experiencing similar challenges, with water deliveries halted for up to ten hours daily in tourist regions due to extreme temperatures and wildfires.
This broader regional crisis highlights the urgent need for effective water management strategies as both nations confront the dire consequences of dwindling water resources.
