TEHRAN, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- The five main dams supplying water to Tehran are only 11 percent full, the semi-official Fars news agency reported Thursday, as the Iranian capital enters its sixth consecutive year of drought.

Excluding Taleqan Dam in the Alborz province, which had been added recently to Tehran's water supply network, the figure drops to just five percent, head of the Tehran province's Water and Wastewater Company Mohsen Ardakani was quoted by Fars as saying.
