Smart Meters Cut Water Use in South Khorasan

Equipping water wells with smart meters helped save more than 111 million cubic meters of water in the agro sector in South Khorasan Province in the past year, deputy of protection and operation department at the provincial Regional Water Company said.
“So far 1,850 wells have been equipped with smart meters comprising 89% of the province's agricultural wells.  The remaining will get smart by the end of winter,” IRNA quoted Saeed Pourjafar as saying.
Last year 611 mcm of water was extracted from authorized wells, he said, adding: “With the smart meters withdrawals dropped to 500 mcm.”
