Four water and wastewater projects worth $495 million were inaugurated by President Hassan Rouhani via video conference on Tuesday in Tehran, Gilan and Qazvin provinces.
The Tehran projects include the Firouz Bahram Wastewater Treatment Plant in Eslamshahr County in the southwest and Pardis Wastewater Treatment Plant 20-km east of the capital. The facilities will increase annual effluent processing capacity by 294 million cubic meters, IRNA reported.
Before the new facilities became operational, water reclamation capacity in the sprawling capital was 250 mcm per year that is now expected to reach 544 mcm.
