Droughts are ubiquitous on earth. Even England goes through it once in a while, never mind California (regularly). Everytime there is a drought, the Global Warming cult members run to shouting "I told you so!!!". And then when it rains a floods, with all becoming well, they never apologize for crying wolf. So the decade long drought in Western US ended late last year, and now the same ended in Iran with the massive rainfalls ALL over that country (in March and April 2019). Every hole in the ground there is filled to the brim with water, including the ancient salt flats in the Kavir. It is floods and too much water that is the problem in 2019 not shortage of it!

So this article, true to form, shows Lake Urmia at its lowest point in 2014-16, but of course won't bother to show it gradually filling up in 2017-2019. Now it is nearly full. Just check the YouTube for nice new films on the health of the lake and the wildlife returning en masse—Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1383:a207:223:12ff:fe20:7bc7 (talk) 17:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-05-11T17:02:00.000Z","author":"2604:2000:1383:A207:223:12FF:FE20:7BC7","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-2604:2000:1383:A207:223:12FF:FE20:7BC7-2019-05-11T17:02:00.000Z-Sky_is_falling","replies":[]}}-->

Water crisis in Iran → Water scarcity in Iran – Water crisis to my mind suggests an event like the 1973 oil crisis or the Flint water crisis. The article itself seems to be a more general review of water scarcity in Iran.

Support. Like you said, I think crisis implies an immediate and acute situation, and that's not what the article actually discusses.

Support per nomination and Erinius. The appropriate term is indeed "scarcity", not "crisis". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:00, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-07-19T01:00:00.000Z","author":"Roman Spinner","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Roman_Spinner-2021-07-19T01:00:00.000Z-RoanokeVirginia-2021-07-18T19:20:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
