shits fucked, can’t even wash our bum. that’s what you get with incompetent water management. easy israhell propaganda win. fuck this.
do you figure they’ll take the plunge of moving capital over this?
no they won’t. there are like 18 million people in the greater tehran area and almost a quarter of the economy is based there you can’t just move that around. and where do they move it? everywhere you look there’s water shortages. they are just hoping this year was just a particularly bad year (and it was it hasn’t rained for months now) and are continuing business as usual. the government doesn’t want to anger people so they’re taking the easy way out short term, which will lead to absolute disaster in the long term.
There can never be libration without socialism
Not that this would fix anything in such a short timespan but, does Iran not have desalination plants on the Caspian sea?? I feel like they’d be insane not to. I know they have desalination at the persian gulf but that’s incredibly far from Tehran while Caspian sea is much closer. Is it harder because the sea is a shared and limited water source or something?
The Caspian Sea is some 30m below sea level, and Tehran is 1179m above sea level on average, well into the Iranian plateau. I don’t think it’s possible to pump Tehran amounts of water 1200m uphill.
Damn that makes a lot of sense actually
Have they considered recycling water? I know desalination plants were already mentioned here, but surely recycling would be a no 1. thing there given their climate and the sanctions kinda making it hard to just keep building more desalination plants given how expensive they are.
