Tehran Supplying Water to Semnan’s Dry Rural Districts

A water supply project in Sorkheh County, Semnan Province, became operational on Monday, Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company (an Abfa subsidiary) managing director said.
“The 80-km pipeline transfers 10 million liters of water (10,000 cubic meters) from Tehran to the dry province a day,” Mohammadreza Bakhtiari was quoted as saying by IRNA.
The project cost $10 million and was contracted by the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa).
The plan entailed digging four wells, four pumping stations and extending a 20 kilovolt power transmission line from Tehran to Sorkheh that is home to 15,000 people.
