Sakhat Bich Gush south of Kerman; Negative water balance for the creeping crisis of "soil subsidence"

Akbar Nouri - IRNA reporter

The continuous decline in the level of underground water due to decades of over-harvesting from wells and subsequent forms has faced southern Kerman province (including Faryab, Dosari, Anbarabad, Kohnouj and Ismaili Jiroft) with the irreversible phenomenon of "soil subsidence" and "slow water erosion".

🔹 The progress of the disparities to the proximity of residential areas, infrastructures and agricultural lands endangered the country's food security pillar; Experts believe that blocking unauthorized wells, installing smart meters, changing the cropping pattern and developing watershed projects are the only ways to curb this climate crisis.
