Subject: Re: Iran government abandoning Tehran
...which is why one constructs reservoirs and aqueducts, kind of like how the Romans figured out ~2,000 years ago.

They have reservoirs. They're just mostly empty due to lack of rain.

They're more likely to move the seat of government and then the population figure it out.

That would make more sense. Though the humanitarian crisis of 9M people without water would be monumental.

BTW Tehran is sinking at a rate of about a foot per year because they've pumped out all their groundwater and the earth is moving.

Did not know that. That's a really high rate of subsidence. I'm surprised buildings aren't already toppling.
