Rural Water Supply Gains Momentum in Three Months

In the past three months, drinking water has been supplied to 549 villages with a population of 355,000 people, according to the data provided by the Energy Ministry.
Currently, over 83% of Iran’s rural population have access to piped water. This is while the entire urban population is linked to the water supply network, the ministry’s news portal Paven reported.
“Measures have been taken to provide funds to address water issues in 10,000 villages across Iran. It has been planned to solve the water shortage problems of rural areas within three years,” Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian said.
