Efficient Water Management Is Key to Alleviating Rural Poverty

Efficient management of groundwater resources in the border regions is crucial to curb water shortages and stop (possibly reverse) rural-urban migration that has become a cause of concern among economic analysts and policymakers. 
However, no budget has so far been allocated for water management, says the head of Forests, Range and Watershed Management Organization.
"Techniques such as aquifer management and watershed management have proven to be effective in alleviating the water crisis across the country, especially in the border areas. But our organization has received no funds to develop the techniques," Abolqasem Hosseinpour was quoted as saying by ISNA.
There is no denying the fact that border areas play a key role in protecting national security.
