Back on July 22, ISNA reported quoting Iranian environmental issues expert Parviz Kordovani, that the Islamic Republic would suffer a hydrological drought, even if in the next 20 years, the overall rainfalls in Iran would increase by 20 percent.
The forecasts of Iranian experts come similar to the previously released NASA report, which said that Iran ranks 4th among 45 countries, which currently experience extreme drought.
The NASA report also said that this stage would go on in Iran for the next 30 years.
