More Persian Gulf Water for Yazd 

Executive operations of the second phase of the project to transfer Persian Gulf water to Yazd Province in central Iran will start soon. 
Yazd has faced a great deal of tensions regarding water supply due to the severe decline in rainfall in the past few years. The average precipitation in Yazd has fallen below 50 mm per year. The mega project is expected to address a significant part of Yazd’s water issues and provide water for drinking, industrial and agricultural purposes, the Energy Ministry’s news portal reported.
Building three desalination units in Bandar Abbas, each with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters per day, laying 720 kilometers of transmission lines and setting up several pumping stations are part of the water transfer project that will take four years to complete. Upon launch, about 200 million cubic meters of desalinated water will be transferred to Yazd Province annually.
