In the 1970,s Iran's population was about 34 million people, but after the revolution people were encouraged to have more children, resulting in the average family size in the 1980,s of 6 children with many having 9 or more. This resulted in the population rocketing to nearly 80 million people wow!!! In the lady few years people have realised it's very costly to bring up a family and most have opted for about 2 children , however just recently the owners that be have decreed the population must increase again for the young people to support this ageing population!!! So just two weeks ago a law was it in place that made having a vasectomy could result in 5 years inprisonment. What are they thinking this will be disaster out for a country with do many problems to overcome. Not least their water problem which is dire for a country which is mostly desert. Yazd in the middle used to have ground water but so much has been used the water table has fallen over the last 10 years by 100m to 200m below ground. So now The water that used to fill The river in Esfahan, 800km away is used to pipe water to yazd. So now the river is completely dry. But still with all the bridges on place, and there doesn't se to be a plan in place to conserve water, no water saving devices, just a mild awareness that something needs to be done.
