The Greatest Threat Facing Iran: Running Out of Water (September 16, 2015)

Good background explanation.
It’s truly an awful (and probably irreversible) catastrophe.
One thing not stressed enough in the articles is Iran’s over-strong population growth. Add that to a drought (fairly common in the region) and you’d already face stiff challenges. Then add in all the corruption and mismanagement.
And there is zero short term solution to their water supply problem. None at all.
They will either become nomads or refugees.
First guess ?
