The installation of 3,000 smart electricity meters on agricultural wells in Tehran Province has helped curb annual water consumption by 35 million cubic meters, the provincial water company’s deputy for operations said.
“There are about 13,500 legal wells in the province, which extract close to 2 billion cubic meters of water from depleting ground resources, accounting for 80% of total withdrawal in the region,” Mehr News Agency also quoted Ahmad Ali Qorbanian as saying.
“The wells were equipped with smart meters between 2014 and 2019 and an additional 1,000 meters will be installed by March 2022,” he said.
