Due to the lack of water, the Iranian government is considering closing the authorities, schools and universities in the capital Tehran. This was announced on Monday by the local authorities, TASR reports based on DPA report.
“The situation with water in Tehran is not good at all, and therefore we must consider the weekly closure of the capital,” the government spokeswoman said on Monday.

Improvements do not expect until autumn
The lack of water has serious consequences for many parts of the country, and is currently the dominant problem of all Iranians.

Normal water supply will probably not be possible for at least the next two months, until the situation is improved due to autumn rain.
In Tehran and 50 other Iranian cities last week, water supplies occurred for 12 to 48 hours. As a result, many residents of the capital moved to the north of the country, as the provinces of the Caspian Sea have no water problems.
“The situation is serious: Tehran really has no water,” said Iranian President Masoud Pezekiján. He did not even rule out the relocation of more than 15 million capital to prevent disaster.
