By registering a strange and new record in Tehran's water consumption, the daily water consumption of the city of Tehran exceeded three billion and 800 million liters per day at an unprecedented level.
According to the economic correspondent of Tasnim news agency, the daily consumption of water in the city of Tehran exceeded three billion and 800 million liters per day at an unprecedented rate, which can endanger the sustainable supply of drinking water in the city of Tehran. ️
In recent days, with the warm weather front prevailing, the amount of water consumption has increased dramatically, so that last week, the amount of instantaneous water consumption in Tehran experienced an unprecedented figure of 57 thousand liters per second, which has not been recorded in the history of calculating the amount of water consumption in this metropolis. ️
This situation is while the reserves of Tehran's water supply dams have decreased by 30 million cubic meters compared to last year, and the stable supply of Tehran's water until the end of the water year (beginning of autumn) and the beginning of the rains is a worrying concern that can only be overcome with the participation of citizens and a reduction of at least 10% in consumption. ️
Confirming the record-breaking water consumption in Tehran, the Tehran Province Water and Sewerage Company announced: "Citizens of Tehran are requested to prevent water wastage by managing water consumption and taking some simple measures, such as fixing possible leaks in water coolers, avoiding unnecessary washing, technical inspections of connections and building water pipes, etc."
Currently, the five dams of Tehran province have 547 million cubic meters of water, which shows a decrease of 31 million cubic meters compared to the previous year, which was 578 million cubic meters.
The normal reservoir volume of Tehran's five dams should be 915 million cubic meters until the end of July, which comparing the current year's reservoir volume with the normal year also shows a decrease of 368 million cubic meters in Tehran's dam reservoirs.
