Gov’t Determination Missing in Completing Water Initiatives 

Although water and wastewater development projects help boost major industries, a large number of initiatives in the key sector have been delayed. 
Reza Hajkarim, a member of Iran Water Industry Federation, a privately-owned organization, made the statement while addressing a panel on "Water scarcity and related challenges" in Tehran on Tuesday, ILNA reported.
“There are 27,000 national and provincial plans that are being implemented at present, half of which started 30 years ago and it is still not clear when they will become operational,” he added.
