The volume of rainfall has reduced three percent in the current water year compared to the average long-term volume, he added.
Mohammad Darvish, a member of the board of directors of the Institute for Forest and Pasture Research, has also said underground water level has dropped 2 meters in 70 plains across Iran in recent years.
