The second phase of a major pipeline project to supply water from Karoun River to rural districts in Ahvaz, Khuzestan Province, has progressed by 53%, the director of National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) said.
“As soon as the plan is completed, the current capacity of the pipeline at 17,000 cubic meters of potable water [per day] will double and 52% of the province’s population will have long-term access to sustainable water,” Atabak Jafari was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Visiting pumping stations in Andimeshk County, Jafari noted that the resolution of water and wastewater issues in Khuzestan tops Abfa’s agenda.
