Iranian government warns citizens: Water supply to be cut off overnight in Tehran

Iran's government may begin cutting water supplies to Tehran during nighttime hours as the capital faces its worst shortage in decades. 

Currently, Tehran has its dams at historic lows.

Iran's energy minister has warned that authorities could reduce water pressure to zero for several nights in Tehran, as the city faces a worsening water crisis.

The country's President, Masoud Pezeshkian, said that dam reservoirs supplying the capital have fallen to their lowest levels in 60 years, with some holding less than 10% of capacity.

Tehran, Iran's largest city with nine million residents, is experiencing its sixth consecutive year of drought, threatening both its drinking water supply and hydroelectric power production./CNA
