Iran exhausts 1,000-year water reserve in 30 years; has highest global land subsidence | WION

Hell of a time frame there...a thousand years of water just gone like that...pretty scary stuff...it would seem that people are taking water too much for granted...

@1:16 that's not in Iran, that is the bottom of Pantabangan Dam reservoir in the Philippines, when the water dried up due to drought (El Niño) . The ruins are the remnants of an old town, deliberately abandoned to give way for the reservoir.

They have oil reserves so cost of pumping water is low in compare to other nations

Great work again demonstrated by the Iranian powers that be, keep focusing on external issues.

"Congratulations" 👏

With that much subsidence, I wonder if that contributes to some of the huge earthquakes Iran has had and probably will have!?!?

People make fun of Africa as a dry hot place. Water scarce people but never make fun of the Arabian region which is majority desert. Is it racial?

Dear WION, it is not subsi-dying. It is sub-siding. Pls note that subsidy is not equal to subside.

While analyzing the water crisis in Iran or anywhere in the world is interesting, its more interesting why Indian media wont analyse the same issue in India. 1.5 billion and counting. Its not like the rivers and lakes are getting any wider and deeper. Water crisis, heat wave deaths have been an annual affair in India taking 1000s of deaths, and failed crops. Ground water extraction in India is a serious issue gone neglected by every successive govt. While a lot of success is reported from private water conservation movements by citizenry, there is not much done by govt.

Not a lot of Iranians posting comments here 🤔

Ohhh no that will grow much more problems in this region 😢😭

I think the video is from the Philippines at 1:16 😂

If you don't harvest and preserve water, you will face dire consequences

Iran is wastefully spending resources on meaningless conflict with Israel whereas common Iranian suffers

Iran doesnt need water. Allah is sufficient enough to survive.

DO THEY CARE NEXT GENERATIONS LIFE?

You would think the people of Iran would get sick of that

They don’t smell like they take long showers 🙈

These islamic conservative countries rely primarily on their primary and secondary sectors with giving little or no importance to teritury or service sectors like tourism and business and employ men mostly in their workforce that is why you will se their natural resources that were a key source of revenue are depleting fast be it oil of middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia or Water in Iran!
