This deterioration is attributed to climate change, declining rainfall rates in the region, and the growing unsustainable use of water, in addition to the practices of upstream countries -[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And Iran - which contributes to the drying up of the two rivers, such as building dams.
During the first half of last year (2023), global production of hydroelectric energy suffered a historic decline of 8.5%, and China, the largest producer of that energy in the world, accounted for three-quarters of this decline after its main rivers and reservoirs dried up, according to the Specialized Energy Platform (based in Washington). .
This decline in hydropower production resulted in a slight increase in global carbon emissions during the aforementioned period, despite a 12% global increase in solar and wind energy production.
