Lar Dam Falls to 5 Percent Full While Amirkabir Stands at 78 Percent

According to figures from the Iran Water Resources Management Company published by Khabar Online on Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Lar dam held 44 million cubic metres as of September 19, 2026 (28 Shahrivar 1405), leaving it 5% full. On the same date the Mamloo dam held 31 million cubic metres and was 12% full, the weakest position among the dams supplying Tehran.

By contrast, the Amirkabir dam held 140 million cubic metres and was 78% full, a marked improvement on last year according to the same data. The Latyan dam held 33 million cubic metres (44% full) and the Taleghan dam 179 million cubic metres (43% full). Khabar Online noted that after six years of drought, rainfall in Esfand and Farvardin (late winter and early spring) improved some reservoirs but cannot offset several years of low rainfall, and that curbing consumption remains necessary.
