The executive work to transfer 200 million cubic meters of desalinated water per year from the Sea of Oman to Sistan-Baluchestan is underway, director general of the National Water Data said.
“The government is determined to combat drought and help ease access to desalinated water not only in Sistan-Baluchestan but also in South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi provinces by transferring water from the Oman Sea,” Firouz Qasemzadeh was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
In the first phase set for completion in 2024, desalinated water will be delivered from the shores of Chabahar to Sistan-Baluchestan and then the pipeline will extend to South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi provinces. The project includes a transmission line stretching over 1,530 km, he added.
