Tehran's Primary Drinking Water Source May Run Dry in Two Weeks Due to Severe Drought

Imagine Tehran is like a big house that gets its water from a special tank called the Amir Kabir dam.

This tank is almost empty, holding only 8% of its usual water.

Officials say if it doesn't rain a lot very soon, the tank could be completely dry in just two weeks!

This is happening because the area is having one of the worst dry spells, or droughts, in a very long time.

It's like the sky hasn't rained properly for a whole year, making the tank much lower than it was last year.

Because of this, people in Tehran are already trying to save water, and sometimes the water doesn't come to certain neighborhoods.

Even the President is worried about how serious this water shortage is.
