Treated Wastewater to Help Save Underground Resources

Completing South Tehran Wastewater Treatment Complex will help save at least 300 million liters of water a year that is extracted from underground resources to water urban green spaces, the head of Tehran Wastewater Company said.
"Annually Tehran municipality draws 300 mcm from underground water tables, which will be replaced with treated wastewater as soon as the complex is ready," Morteza Ezodin was quoted as saying by ILNA.
Moreover, farmers in the Varamin Plains, 40 kilometers south of the capital, and the Tehran Oil Refinery (Tondgouyan Refinery) will get 15 mcm and 16 mcm of wastewater per annum.
