Jiroft Dam to Supply Water to Residents of Southern Kerman

The executive operation of a project to transfer water to Jiroft and Anbarabad cities in Kerman Province from the Jiroft Dam started on Feb. 9.
The project is expected to be completed in three years, with an investment of about $18.5 million, the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven reported.
Aimed at supplying 29.1 million cubic meters of drinking water per year to the two cities, the plan includes the installation of 32.4 kilometers of a transmission line from Jiroft Dam to the treatment plant in Jiroft City and also 38.5 km of pipes to Anbarabad.
One of the largest dams in Iran, Jiroft Dam was built about 30 years ago on the Halil River 40 km northeast of Jiroft City. It plays an important role in supplying the water needed by the farming sector in southern Kerman.
