Plan to Divert Water From Sea of Oman to South Khorasan

With completion of water transfer from the Persian Gulf to Kerman Province, plans are underway to supply water from the southeast region to South Khorasan Province, the representative of Nehbandan and Sarbisheh counties in Majlis said.
“Studies have been carried out on ways to transfer water from the Oman Sea to three provinces (Sistan-Baluchestan, South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi). However infrastructure projects are on hold due to funding constraints,” IRNA quoted Mostafa Nakaei as saying.
The first phase of a project to divert water from the Persian Gulf to Kerman came online last November.  A 305-km pipeline will annually transfer 180 million cubic meters of desalinated water from the Bandar Abbas Desalination Plant in southern Hormozgan Province to Gol-Gohar Mining and Industrial Complex in Sirjan, Kerman.
