Oman Sea Water Supply Project to Help Tackle Iran’s Water Crisis

The sustainable supply of industrial and drinking water is one of the main goals of Khorasan Razavi Regional Water Company, which will be realized within four years, the company’s managing director said.
“A water pipeline has been defined to transfer water from the Sea of Oman to the three provinces of Sistan-Baluchestan, South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi,” Alireza Taheri was also quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
The official noted that the project has registered 10% progress so far.
In the first phase set for completion in 2024, desalinated seawater will be delivered from the shores of Chabahar to Sistan-Baluchestan, and then the pipeline will be extended to South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi provinces. The project includes a pipeline stretching over 1,530 km.
