Birjand Wastewater Treatment Plant Opens With ECO Funds

A wastewater treatment plant in Birjand County in South Khorasan Province was inaugurated by Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian on Friday to help tackle the worsening water crisis in the drought-stricken region.
The $30 million facility financed by ECO Trade and Development Bank has the capacity to treat 21,500 cubic meters of effluent per day, the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven reported.
“This is the largest water project in the province financed by ECO Trade and Development Bank,” he added. 
The bank is a regional multilateral lender established under the auspices of the Economic Cooperation Organization.
