The government and Majlis have completed feasibility studies on a project to transfer water from the Oman Sea to five provinces, a member of Majlis Urban Affairs Commission said.
According to plans, water from southern Iran will be transferred to Sistan and Baluchestan, Kerman, Yazd, South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi provinces long suffering from acute water shortages, the parliamentary news website ICANA quoted Sodeif Badri as saying.
“Based on the programs, 750 million cubic meters of water will be supplied annually to these provinces for drinking and industrial use from the Sea of Oman,” he said without providing details.
