The situation is worse than thought. Iran is about to be out of water and tens of millions of Iranians could languish and die or be forced to leave Iran over the next decade. Iran recently recorded the highest temperature on the planet. The foretold nuclear war between America and the Communist nations, in which it is seen in prophecy that America will get hit with a group of mega-nukes, destroying America's cities in the same second, will act like thrusters and move Earth off its axis temporarily, first causing Earth to freeze, then overcompensating in reverse so that Earth burns with scorching heat that will kill all cattle livestock and dry up all the crops. In Iran, the heat is already higher than any other place, but when Earth overcompensates, the heat will kill most of the population due to Iran not being equipped with modern solutions.
I must have control of Iran's infrastructure so I can fix it. I won't be Iran's leader. What I'm talking about is allowing brainpower to handle things. Putting personalities in power is no longer feasible.
Every government is run by personalities. That is why systems are failing in every nation. I'm looking at the world situation through a lens of pure logic.
But that is why the NotDisneyland operating system is being installed.
The Iranian government's system of corruption-on-earth goes back centuries. It didn't start with Khomeini. Iranian society has always been corrupt.
In the old days, the majority of people were living off the land, growing their own food, and had their own cow to milk. They were not affected by the corruption.
Today though, it takes super-genius Nerd-powers and people who have superhuman knowledge of abstract topics that no A.I. could ever hope to know about, to survive the things that are happening and will happen in the 2030s and even before the 2030s. In my book "Iran Disneyland" I go into detail about these things.
The problem at the moment is that Iran has a leader who was made for the 1300s and the Mongol invasions. Khamenei would have been perfect for that era. He would have been a hero.
In the example of current Iran, lucrative contracts for building dams, wells, and irrigation, were given to friends and family.
It was assumed that water management would be easy.
Every regime is headed by personalities. And that is the problem. NotDisneyland is putting genius Nerds in charge as Iran's overseers. Not leaders. Human leaders are a hindrance in the modern world.
As an example, nearly the entire American Senate is filled with high school star athletes who were popular in their teenaged years. Those types of people have no brains. That is why Israeli statesmen so easily dominate over American politicians and turn them into domestic house servants. The sports jock is easy to control. It's like controlling a dumb donkey whose material being is pure physicality.
Democracy empowers all the high school jocks who have no brains and should not be in positions of power and influence in the post-Luddite Era.
I used A.I. to help me put together an assessment of the water problem in Iran and the solution to fix it. But I know it's going to take more than what A.I. knows because A.I., which is not yet A.G.I., only comes up with complex technical solutions that already exist; solutions it finds in articles and thesis papers written up in universities. What we must have is something that has not been done before. Some of the solutions that are offered here, are practical solutions, and it's a good overview. But Khamenei's corruption is so massive, he has totally destroyed the entire water infrastructure so that the problem is not the drought itself but the massive chunks of destroyed or unnecessary infrastructure that block every way to fix the problem, including flooding Iranian farmlands with saltwater, destroying the farmlands and turning hundreds of thousands of Iranians into unemployed beggars.
Almost every Iranian wants Khamenei to get out of government, but he is using murder and torture to stay in power. This man is clearly a criminal. No one should be supporting him.
It's a good thing that NotDisneyland is going to start developing and building a new Dubai in Africa. But we might have to build two of them in Africa if 70 percent of the Iranian population has to be moved out of Iran (as experts predict). Otherwise, what Khamenei has done to Iran ... is a Holocaust. While all of you sit on your fat asses, people in Iran are hurting bad. Extremely bad.
I believe that Satan sent Khomeini and Khamenei to destroy Iran. Why? I get into that in the book "Iran Disneyland." Khamenei succeeded in not only destroying Iran on purpose but stealing hundreds of billions of dollars and sending the money to offshore accounts.
If you are knowledgeable or curious about irrigation and the water problem, read the following technical assessment and leave a comment.
The solutions that A.I. offers are not enough, will take too long, and are too complex - especially when the heat is about to go up another twenty to seventy degrees from the nuclear war and we have entered a two decades-long mega quake era that will basically destroy every nation.
My solution is to install giant drainpipes underwater in the Persian Gulf that penetrate deep into the Iranian land mass, deep underground, all the way to the northern two-thirds of Iran.
From there, water can be sent downward south in above-ground pipes, following a natural flow.
Not all the sea water should be desalinated. Water for homes can be pure seawater. Taking a shower in sea water is considered healthy.
Iran is one of the few nations that has tunnel-digging technology, so is able to build underground tunnels to house the massive-sized pipes.
The only question is, what kind of technology is needed to get the water to flow in a twenty-degree upward angle, and then at the northernmost juncture, brought up to the surface? Or should other angles be used?

Why there’s a water shortage
Demand long exceeded supply
For decades Iran expanded irrigation as if water were unlimited.
Surface water was dammed and diverted; when that ran short, groundwater was pumped heavily, more than could be handled.
Groundwater depletion + land subsidence: Over-pumping has caused some of the world’s fastest subsidence (when the surface collapses because of the depletion of water deep underneath)—damaging above ground infrastructure as giant holes and cracks opened up all over.
Big dams & inter-basin transfers: Aggressive dam-building and water transfers (e.g., from the Karun/Dez systems) cut flows to downstream communities and wetlands.
Destruction of ecosystems: Lake Urmia, once the Middle Earth’s largest lake, has shriveled up into a salt flat.
Planet X's effect on the climate: Hotter, drier conditions make a mismanaged system fail faster.
How it got to this point (policy & governance)
Policy choices across eras: From the late Pahlavi period through the Islamic Republic, development plans prioritized food/self-sufficiency and big hydraulic works over efficiency and ecosystem limits, creating a long-running “socio-economic drought.”
Institutional fragmentation: Water is split across powerful ministries (Energy; Agriculture-Jihad) and parastatals, with weak basin-level governance and poor transparency—so withdrawals kept rising even as rivers and aquifers fell.
Corruption: Analysts describe “structural corruption” and politicized water allocations (e.g., inter-basin transfers and dam contracts awarded to companies owned by I.R.G.C. members), with weak public scrutiny.
Water theft: Even state media acknowledge vast numbers of unauthorized wells.
Who is responsible? Successive governments (pre- and post-1979), the Ministries of Energy and "Agriculture-Jihad," provincial water companies, and major contractors all shaped today’s over-allocated, under-governed system. Even the Shah's regime contributed to the problem.
Crackdown on water-related protests: During the
Khuzestan water protests (July 2021), rights groups documented security forces using live ammunition and birdshot against largely peaceful demonstrators; deaths and mass arrests were reported.
Amnesty International
Targeting environmentalists: Members of the
Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation were arrested on security charges; one,
Kavous Seyed-Emami, died in custody under disputed circumstances (2018). Several were later freed after serving years.
Human Rights Watch+1AP News
Environmental offenses inside Iran: Authorities themselves cite widespread
illegal well drilling and unlawful abstraction—offenses under Iranian law—even as enforcement has been inconsistent.
The following are A.I.'s solutions. This will take too long and will rely on there not being any corruption. Clearly this plan is not practical for Iran. But go ahead and read it anyways.
What would actually help: Metering/enforcement to stop illegal abstraction; retire/convert thirsty crops (such as watermelons which use up massive amounts of water); modernize irrigation; price water and energy to reflect scarcity with protections for the poor; pause new transfers, operate dams for rivers/wetlands; and build transparent basin authorities that publish contracts. These align with recommendations from regional and international experts.
FIXING IT:
Here’s a practical, staged playbook that Iran could execute to pull out of “water bankruptcy” (severe long-term overuse of surface and especially groundwater) and stabilize supplies while protecting people, farms,and ecosystems.
0) Declare the emergency & Adopt a national “water shortage” decree. Put a legal ceiling on withdrawals in every basin equal to sustainable yield; everything else must be phased down. Publish a public dashboard (basin-by-basin storage, pumping, subsidence, lake/river status).
Freeze expansion that increases net demand: immediate moratorium on (a) new high-capacity wells, (b) new inter-basin transfers/dams that lack full basin-wide impact reviews, and (c) siting of water-intensive industries in interior basins.
Stand up Basin Crisis Cells: in all 6 major hydrologic regions led by the Energy Ministry but co-chaired with Agriculture-Jihad and governors.
1) Stop the bleeding (0–12 months) - Meter, register, and cap all large wells. Make smart meters and tamper-proof seals mandatory for any electricity/diesel subsidy; cut power to non-compliant pumps. Prioritize the top 10% of wells that account for the majority of abstraction.
Shut down illegal wells: Start with high-capacity/shallows near cities and collapsing aquifers; compensate smallholders with cash, water-saving kits, and job programs. Publicize closures.
Emergency urban loss control. Launch a national “Find & Fix” program to cut
non-revenue water (leaks + theft) by ~5 percentage points in the 20 largest cities via pressure management, district metering, and rapid-repair teams.
Protect critical ecosystems with minimum flows. Allocate environmental releases to Lake Urmia and stressed wetlands/rivers; re-operate upstream dams to meet seasonal flow windows.
Subsidence hotspots task force. Impose emergency pumping cuts and land-use restrictions in Tehran plain, Rafsanjan, and other red zones; safeguard rails, highways, and utilities.
2) Rewrite the rules (1–3 years) Pass a Groundwater Sustainability Law. For each aquifer, set a declining cap to reach balance within 10 years; require: metering, annual public accounts, and penalties that escalate from fines to pump confiscation. (Model: cap-and-reduce frameworks used internationally.) F
ix perverse incentives. Decouple energy/water subsidies from volume; deliver
targeted cash transfers to small farmers instead. Make all remaining pump-power discounts conditional on meters + demonstrated savings.
Transparent water allocations & contracts. Publish all major water contracts, transfer schemes, and dam O&M information.
Irrigation shift. Retire the thirstiest crops in overdrawn basins (e.g., summer rice, water-heavy forage) via voluntary buyouts and multi-year switching contracts; scale drip/sprinkler where agronomically sound; expand deficit irrigation advisories.
Scale wastewater reuse. Mandate that large cities treat and reuse a rising share of effluent for industry/green belts.
Drought risk & demand management. Standardize drought stages (Watch/Warning/Emergency) with pre-agreed municipal and farm cutbacks; publish monthly outlooks.
3) Rebalance the economy to the water you actually have (3–10 years) Right-size agriculture to basin limits. Tie acreage, crop mix, and irrigation tech to each aquifer’s cap; support exits/alternatives: greenhouse horticulture, dryland crops, agro-processing in wetter/coastal zones.
Relocate water-intensive industry. Gradually move steel/petrochemicals and new power capacity toward the coasts; if desalination is used, restrict it to coastal municipal/industrial supply with strict brine management and renewable power.
Urban redesigns (Flexi-Cities)
Restore rivers & wetlands. Replace “hard” flood control with reconnected floodplains
.
4) Anti-corruption: Enforcement actions posted as machine-readable.
Independent oversight. Water Regulator for pricing, metering, and access; empower the Supreme Audit Court and judiciary.
5) What success looks like: overdraft reduced each year. Annual rates decline in Tehran, Rafsanjan, Kerman; zero growth of new cracks in protected corridors. Wells metered or closed; enforcement actions and appeals published. Lake Urmia and priority wetlands meet seasonal flow and salinity targets. Non-revenue water cut to <20% nationwide; per-capita use trending down without service loss.
Independent studies of Iran’s crisis emphasize that the coreproblem is
structural overuse—not just drought—driven by policy incentives and governance gaps; stabilizing groundwater, halting subsidence, and restoring environmental flows are therefore the non-negotiables. Similar mixes of
caps + metering + pricing reform + transparency have reversed subsidence and aquifer decline elsewhere, and Iran’s own Lake Urmia program shows that targeted, community-based water saving and re-operation of infrastructure can move the needle when consistently funded and monitored.
HERE IS A PLAN TO SOURCE WATER FROM THE OCEAN:
Guiding facts: Modern SWRO desal needs roughly
2.5–4.0 kWh per m³; best-in-class projects hit ~
2.9 kWh/m³ today.
ScienceDirectWall Street Journal Giant plants typically take
2–3 years EPC; so the one-year window must use
modular units and
floating/barged desal (already deployed in Saudi waters) plus
temporary pipelines.
Aquatech TradeSmart Water Magazine Iran already has a head start:
Persian Gulf→Central Plateau transfer (phases to Kerman/Yazd/Sirjan) with
hundreds of km of pipe laid and phase-1 inaugurated—build on this.
Caspian Newsiranpress.comWikipediaPhase A — 0–90 days: Stand up coastal water & freeinland supplyA1. Mobilize fast water on the coast (6 nodes). Chabahar, Jask, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Asaluyeh, Bandar Mahshahr. Install
containerized SWRO modules (50–100k m³/d per site) in parallel; lease
floating desal barges where berths allow. Target
~600k m³/d aggregate within 3 months (split across nodes).
Smart Water Magazine Power: hook to grid + diesel/gas peakers initially; start PV builds where land is available (PV reduces OPEX but isn’t on the critical path). Benchmarks from UAE show high-efficiency RO is realistic.
Wall Street Journal
A2. “Demand swap” to unlock inland water fast. Swap coastal industry & city demand to new desal so
river/groundwater that fed them is
released upstream toward
Ahvaz, Shiraz, Kerman, Yazd via existing networks/transfer lines. This is how you get
immediate relief inland while long pipes are built.
A3. Brine & intake safeguards from day one. Diffuser outfalls, ambient monitoring, and staged discharge rates to protect Gulf/Oman receiving waters (temperature/salinity/chemistry).
ScienceDirect
Phase B — Build 12 emergency corridors
B1. Temporary “above-ground” pipelines (AGP). Use
bare steel or HDPE strings on grade with trenching only at crossings; multiple construction spreads can lay
several km/day each (short, parallel segments finish much faster than a single long line).
slvwd.comفروش تجهیزات استخر Inline pump skids every 60–120 km; telemetry + leak detection; chlorination at termini.
B3. Tanker-train & road bridging. Where AGP cannot cross mountains in time, run
rail tankers and
road tankers from coastal nodes to inland depots for
hospitals and municipal peak hours for months 3–12.
Phase C — 3–12 months: Scale permanent capacity &start long haulsC1. Lock in two 800k m³/d-class permanent plants (Gulf& Oman Sea). Award EPC as
multiple parallel blocks (each ~100–150k m³/d) so early blocks finish in
9–12 months while later blocks follow—this “modular gigaplant” approach is how mega-plants hit scale elsewhere (e.g., Sorek/Rabigh/Ras Al-Khair scale classes, albeit with longer typical EPC).
Aquatech TradeWikipediaC2. Convert the fastest AGP corridors into buried,permanent mains. Bury, add surge protection, SCADA, and secure pump stations. Tie into the
Persian Gulf→Plateau backbone as it expands.
WikipediaC3. Energy plan. Year-1 desal energy for
~1,000,000 m³/d ≈
~3,000 MWh/day (at ~3 kWh/m³); secure with gas turbines initially; add PV + storage where grid constraints exist.
ScienceDirectC4. Environmental management. Brine diffusers with modeling; staged discharge; consider
salt recovery where economics allow; continuous marine monitoring to meet thresholds.
ScienceDirectProcurement & governance (make it actually happen) Split into 40–60 EPC packages (coastal intakes/outfalls, RO skids, pumps, AGP segments, power tie-ins).
Parallelize with 8–10 construction “spreads” per long corridor; shared standards for pipe, flanges, controls.
Transparency: publish daily progress, water outputs, and contracts (prevents capture and keeps timelines tight).
Prioritize domestic fabrication of steel pipe, supports, and tanks; import only the membranes/high-pressure pumps if required.
Month-by-month milestones (realistic stretch) M0–M1: Lease/position
floating desal; purchase containerized RO; survey AGP routes; power interconnects approved.
Smart Water Magazine M2–M3: First
200–300k m³/d coastal water online; two AGP pilot segments flowing (Zahedan, Sirjan).
M4–M6: All
6 coastal nodes producing;
8–10 AGP segments feeding cities; rail/tanker bridging operational; begin burying the two shortest corridors.
M7–M9: Hit
~800–1,000k m³/d coastal output; inland swaps reduce aquifer/river withdrawals through summer peak.
M10–M12: First
permanent 100–150k m³/d blocks of the two gigaplants commissioned; convert highest-traffic AGP to buried mains.
What this delivers in 12 months 1.0–1.2 million m³/day of new coastal supply (potable + industrial), enough to
fully replace coastal city draws and
push tens of percent upstream, stabilizing several interior cities through the next dry season. (Energy: ~3 GWh/day for RO; extra for pumping inland lifts.)
ScienceDirect
Twelve corridors delivering
emergency volumes to inland hubs (tens to low hundreds of thousands m³/d combined), with two or three corridors converted to permanent buried mains by year-end.
Measured reductions in groundwater pumping in Kerman/Yazd/Shiraz belts (tracked publicly), buying time for the deeper fixes.
Cautions (so the plan doesn’t backfire) Mountains & head: lifting water
1,000–1,800 m to plateau cities is energy-intensive and pump-station heavy; don’t promise million-m³/d to Isfahan/Tehran in one year—stage it.
Wikipedia+1 Brine: unmanaged discharge can harm sea life; commit to diffuser/monitoring from day one.
ScienceDirect
Cost: desal is far pricier than farm water;
keep it focused on cities/industry and use it to
free cheaper sources inland.
Financial Times
Do not let desal become an excuse to keep over-pumping aquifers. Cap and meter groundwater in parallel.
This plans you read, come from AI and are not enough. The strategy I'm calling for, will work better.
