Isfahan Finding Solutions in Wastewater Systems

Close to 172 million cubic meters of wastewater is recycled in Isfahan Province every year, head of the provincial water company said.
"The need to treat and reuse wastewater is crucial to cope with the worsening water crisis," Hashem Amini was quoted as saying by Energy Newcomes, a domestic privately-owned media group.
He noted that of the total annual output (172 mcm), 60% or 100 mcm is used for farming and the rest for industries, watering green spaces, maintaining watersheds and developing anti-desertification programs.
After Yazd, Isfahan is the second biggest industrial hub in the country and 70% of Iran’s steel is manufactured in this province, which explains why tapping into unconventional water resources has become a major compulsion.
