Water Quality Improves in Yasouj 

The long-awaited Yasouj water treatment plant in Kohgilouyeh-Boyerahmad Province has started the supply of good quality drinking water to around 60,000 residents of the county, the head of the provincial water and wastewater company said.
“With a processing capacity of 200 liters of water per second, the facility was completed in six years at an estimated cost of $4 million,” Omid Salehi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news website.
The development of water supply infrastructures in the underprivileged region is not proportional to the population growth and more funding is required, he added.
According to the official, despite abundant surface water, the absence of water processing plants in the county has caused water tension.
