That is, 25 percent of the country's water is used in Tehran, 71 percent of which is surface water and 21 percent groundwater.
He went on to say about the turbidity of the city over the past few days: Our whole problem came after last Monday's and Tuesday's rains, the volume of rivers rising and flooding, which led to the muddy and turbidity of the Karaj and Latian dams.
After that, the turbidity boundary went up by 10,000 while refineries had a capacity of 4,000, Kariminejad said. Every second, 28 to 30,000 liters of water rise from the treatment plant to zero after turbidity. We had 16 hours of resilience by Wednesday, when the turbidity reached 4,000, we had 10 to 11 hours of shutdown, but by Saturday the issue was completely resolved
