Tabriz Wastewater Plant to Raise Urmia Lake Inflow

The second phase of the wastewater treatment plant in Tabriz, East Azarbaijan Province, will help raise the inflow of treated wastewater to the troubled Urmia Lake by 150%, director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“The new phase will increase the current water flow to the lake to four cubic meters per second or 125 million cubic meters a year,” Ali Abbasi was also quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
The second phase of the development project, which is 97% complete and set to come on stream in January 2022, is expected to increase the current capacity [130 cubic meters per day] to 207,000 CMD, a large part of which will be diverted to the lake, he added.
