The environmental mismanagement and water crisis, largely caused by the regime's short-sighted policies, dam-building projects, and corruption, threaten the livelihoods and health of millions, particularly in rural and marginalized provinces.

The appeasement for this reason is seen in localized, yet often intense, protests by farmers and regional communities, who rally to demand their water rights and directly confront local government officials responsible for the ecological destruction.
