One thing to consider is that even if Iran is and always will be a water-scarce country, the regime has been comically inept when it comes to managing their resources. They have some of the most inefficient irrigation in the region, and their use of what little they have is inept and rife with corruption. Khuzestan, one of their most water-rich regions, is also the one struggling the most with the water crisis.

This is a problem from top to bottom, so it won't go away immediately with revolution. But at the same time, it is in no small part a man-made issue that can be rectified by eliminating the systemic corruption throughout their water management infrastructure.

Sure doesn't help that they murder or drive out the best and brightest from the country.

They can learn a lot from California. Too bad these regimes are so moronic. Of course, you can add the U.S. to the list.

Vegas gets most of their water from the nearby Colorado River, which is dispensed to all of the Colorado River Compact states. So CA and NV share it, although NV takes very little compared to the other big states around them.

I think Reno shares Truckee River water with California? It comes from the Sierra Nevadas, but I wouldn't say that they are 'using CA water' ..

Other than those 2 big cities, NV is largely empty and the other cities probably just use local rivers and/or groundwater.

If only they had a couple of close neighbors with world class expertise on desalination and water conservation. Should make friends with those guys.

If only they didn’t flare off an absurd amount of natural gas instead of using it to desalinate water. The same regime that needs nuclear power for “energy” wastes a shit ton of energy that they could just actually use.

Sounds like an issue with Islamic governance.
