Transforming traditional wells into smart wells in Sabzevar, Khorasan Razavi Province, has helped reduce extraction of underground water by 20%, head of the provincial water company said.
“There are 1,600 authorized wells in the city, all of which are equipped with smart electricity meters decreasing water extraction from underground resources by 20%,” Mohammad Sabeti Moqadam was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Wednesday.
Drawing water from renewable sources in the province has reached frightening levels, he said, adding that at least 25% of what is consumed now belongs to future generations.
