Zahedan Water Shortage Causes Difficulties, Serious Concern

The daily water deficit in Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan Province, is about 100,000 cubic meters, managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said. 
"Water supply to the city, with a population of 900,000 people, is as low as 150,000 cubic meters per day, which is adequate for only 300,000 residents," Alireza Qasemi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
“At least 250,000 cubic meters of water are needed by Zahedan on a daily basis, but underdeveloped infrastructure has resulted in serious water shortage, pushing people over the edge,” he added.
