Taleghan Dam Water Reaches Qazvin Rural Areas

The Energy Ministry has completed close to 560 water and wastewater projects across the nation over the last 12 months, due to which the number of urban and rural areas faced with water tension has decreased by at least 15% to reach 260 cities and towns.
Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian made the statement in the inaugural ceremony of a water transfer project in Qazvin Province on Saturday, the Energy Ministry’s news portal reported.
“Completed at an estimated cost of $20 million, a 20-km pipeline transfers water from Taleghan Dam, 135 kilometers northwest of Tehran, to a treatment plant in Abyek County in Qazvin Province to supply villagers with potable water,” he said.
