The 2018 Iranian water protests were a series of protests in Iran involving demands for improvements in the provision of freshwater.[7] The protests erupted after a period of severe drought in the country.[9] Participants accused the Iranian authorities of water mismanagement, worsening the impact of the drought.[10][11] The protests coincided with a series of larger protests and civil unrest in Iran.[4]

Public demonstrations involving water demands in 2018 were first reported in mid-February. The first significant protests occurred in early March in the Isfahan province and later spread to the provinces of Khuzestan and Bushehr.[7][4][12] The government responded by quelling the protests, leading to the death of at least two protesters and multiple injuries.[4][8][13] Approximately 170 people were reportedly arrested in relation to the water demonstrations.[7][8] The water shortages persisted and water protests erupted again in 2021.[14]
