Kurdistan Dam Projects Slow

Construction of two dams, Javeh and Azad, is underway in western Kurdistan Province and $90 million has already been spent on the two projects but work is slow due to funding constraints, managing director of Iran Water and Power Resources Development Company said.
“Javeh Dam is located 40 km southwest of the capital city, Sanandaj, in eastern part of Kurdistan. When completed, it can hold 350 million cubic meters of water, which will be used for agricultural and industrial purposes,” Seyed Hassan Razavi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
“With $30 million spent so far the project has made 72% progress and needs $25 million to be completed,” he added.
