Experts, pointing to the possibility of the El Niño phenomenon forming in the coming months, have warned against optimism regarding the end of drought in Iran. They believe that heavy and sudden autumn rains could lead to dangerous floods, increasing the need for proactive preparedness.
Continuing Water Crisis in Iran
In recent years, Iran has faced a serious water crisis and drought. Low rainfall and inadequate management of water resources have put the country in a critical situation. Now, with the approach of autumn and the possibility of heavy rains, experts warn that one cannot look at these rains with optimism. They believe that these rains may lead to dangerous floods, which could result in significant human and financial losses.
Preparedness for Potential Floods
According to forecasts, relevant agencies in Iran must prepare now for heavy rains and potential floods. This preparedness includes preventive measures, such as strengthening urban and rural infrastructure, proper management of surface waters, and establishing early warning systems. Experts emphasize that neglecting this issue may lead to the recurrence of tragic events that have plunged the country into crisis in previous years.
On the other hand, El Niño, as a climatic phenomenon, can have widespread effects on rainfall patterns in Iran. This phenomenon can lead to increased rainfall in some areas while decreasing it in others. Therefore, accurate and timely forecasting of these changes is crucial for managing water resources and reducing damages.
