Reclaimed Water for Tehran Agriculture and Industries

The second phase of Firouz Bahram Wastewater Treatment Plan in southwest Tehran is near completion and set to become operational in summer, head of the state-owned Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company (Abfa) said.
“After the sludge treatment unit is in place odorless reclaimed wastewater will be used for farming mainly in in Baharestan, Robat Karim and Eslamshahr,” Mohammad Reza Bakhtiari said referring to the working districts of the fledgling capital, ISNA reported.
Completion of the sludge treatment facility will help seal at least 125 wells in the three counties, most of which are severely depleted.
The first phase of the project was launched in February after which Tehran Municipality was obliged to seal 50 wells in and around the metropolis used for green spaces.
