Urmia Lake Restoration Efforts Making Headway

The project to divert water from Kani Sib Dam in West Azarbaijan Province to Urmia Lake has had a work-in-progress rate of 73% since 2016, the head of Urmia Lake Restoration Program said.
"The project that includes laying 120 km of pipelines will transfer 650 million cubic meters of water per annum," the Persian daily Donya-e-Eqtesad quoted Farhad Sarkhosh as saying on Wednesday.
Water transfer, both from domestic and foreign bodies of water, had long been proposed as one of the solutions for ULRP.
