Promising Water Projects for Rural Yazd

Water supply infrastructure is expanding in Yazd Province and $5 million was invested in new projects, managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said Tuesday.
"Thirty water supply units are being completed and will provide potable water to 388 rural regions in the province," Mohammad Fatehi was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry news portal.
Of the total 1,184 villages in the province, 330 regions or 82,000 rural people are being supplied drinking water via tankers, he said, adding that piped water is limited and thus rationed in 600 villages in the province that is among hottest and driest regions in Iran with summer temperatures unusually above 40 degrees centigrade.
