Consecutive droughts have dried up many springs in the Middle East, including Iran. Therefore, many springs have less water, if not at all. Therefore, careful management of existing springs is crucial to cope with the drought.
During the past summer, 13 springs were restored in Tandoureh in order to ensure a stable water source for the wildlife in the upcoming hot summer. They provided water for Persian leopards and their prey. Accordingly, cement was carried to higher elevations on horseback. Then, the dripping water was controlled to minimize leakage. Metal plates were used to build a canal, leading the water from rocks into a small pool, or a waterhole. Our water restoration efforts are supported by many individual donors.
