Mehdi Qamshi

Mehdi Qamshi is a water specialist and a faculty member at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. He has been vocal about the severe water crisis in Iran, emphasizing the detrimental impacts of recent government plans for inter-basin water transfer projects, which he argues exacerbate existing water stress rather than alleviate it. Qamshi critiques the lack of environmental assessments for these projects and warns that mismanagement of water resources harms both agriculture and ecosystems in the regions involved.
