Dez Dam to Supply Piped Water to Khuzestan’s Urban, Rural Areas

President Ebrahim Raeisi inaugurated a long-awaited water supply project in the drought-stricken Khuzestan Province on Friday, director of the provincial water and electricity organization said.
“Completed after 10 years at an estimated cost of $150 million, the major water supply plan, dubbed Ghadir Water Supply Project, entailed laying 900 kilometers of pipelines, in addition to building four pumping stations and a desalination plant,” Abbas Sadrianfar was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The pipeline will supply stable and quality water to over half of the 5-million population of the southwestern province through pipelines for the next 25 years.
