Iran prepares to transfer Caspian Sea water to Semnan Province
By Trend
Iran plans to transfer water from Caspian Sea to solve its water shortage problem, while the country's Department of Environment is reviewing the studies to decide the volume of water transfer.
The Iranian Department of Environment is a governmental organization, under the supervision of the president, that is responsible for matters related to safeguarding the environment.
"The necessary studies have been completed and the reports have been submitted to the Department of Environment," Ali Moridi, head of Department of Environment's soil and water office told Trend in an interview.
"Regarding technical and environmental issues, the most important is the volume of water that should be transferred. The expert sessions discussed the amount of transferred water to be used for drinking purposes and industrial needs," he said.
"The National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran would decide how much of the water transfer would be allocated to drinking water," Moridi said.
