The first phase of a project to supply water from the Persian Gulf to Kerman Province went on stream on Thursday, head of the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) said.
"Costing $815 million, the 305-km pipeline will annually transfer 180 million cubic meters of desalinated water from the Bandar Abbas desalination plant in southern Hormozgan Province to Gol-Gohar Mining and Industrial Complex in Sirjan, Kerman Province," Qasem Taqizadeh Khamesi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
The phase includes a desalination unit (in Bandar Abbas), seven pumping stations, 33 water storage tanks, 10 power substations and a 150 kilovolt power transmission line from Hormozgan to Kerman.
“Work on the project started in 2016 by the Persian Gulf Water Supply and Transmission Company.”
