\"\"Currently, Iran is not in a good condition in terms of hydrology and water resources, and we are facing a civilizational crisis. According to the latest third national census published by the Ministry of Energy in 2023, Iran has only 92 billion cubic meters of renewable water resources, while in previous decades these resources were 120 billion cubic meters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
