Iran's declared policy regarding trans-border rivers and shared water resources is to interact with neighbors within the framework of bilateral agreements and build technical and diplomatic cooperation, head of the Energy Ministry’s department of border rivers and joint water sources said.
“We have accords with all neighbors on shared water resources and several meetings have been held over the years between joint committees to resolve the existing problems,” ISNA quoted Isa Bozorgzadeh as saying.
Iran is home to an extended network of rivers, most of which originate in the rugged mountain regions and flow into interior basins.
Nineteen rivers run along Iran's international boundaries and the country shares these with six neighbors.
