Saying goodbye to water tension in 100 cities in the past year/ 1300 villages were connected to the drinking water network.

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, last summer, at the same time as the 13th government started, 300 cities of the country were struggling with the issue of water tension. In other words, the amount of water resources provided for these cities was not proportional to the existing uses, and in technical terms, 300 cities of the country had an imbalance of drinking water resources and uses.

Based on this, considering that less than 8% of the country’s water is consumed in the drinking sector, the amount of rainfall reduction effect on drinking water resources is low, and the main reason for the formation of drinking water tension is the problem of water supply infrastructure.

Considering the mentioned issue, from the beginning of the 13th government, the issue of monitoring and monitoring the state of drinking water in the cities of the country was given serious attention with the establishment of a camp.

Based on the published information about the operation of this camp, in the initial step, the initial monitoring and observation of the country’s cities in terms of the ability of supply sources and consumption is on the agenda, and then the camp’s meetings to monitor the state of drinking water in the country’s cities separately for each province with the presence of managers Regional water and water supply of each region will be held.

In these meetings, the latest existing conditions of each province are monitored continuously, and the list of cities with resource and expenditure mismatches is updated. After that, software and hardware projects, including solutions to reduce water consumption, as well as the development of water supply infrastructure, will be approved, and finally, credit will be allocated to carry out the projects.

In this regard, the situation of cities in the country that have mismatched resources and expenses are classified in 3 sections: yellow, orange and red. On this basis, yellow status cities refer to cities where the amount of water resources shortage is less than 10%. In these cities, the solution with consumption management software activities is considered and the problem is solved in this way.

In cities with an orange status, where the mismatch between resources and expenses is between 10 and 20%, in addition to software projects, emergency plans are also on the agenda, and finally, in cities with a red status, where the mismatch is more than 20%, the amount Lack of drinking water is on the agenda with management of consumption, implementation of emergency projects and water supply plans.

* Development of water supply infrastructure for 1300 villages in one year

In addition to the cities of the country, rural water supply infrastructure development projects are also on the agenda, and the government has aimed to supply drinking water to 10 thousand villages within 4 years.

Based on this, in 1400, we witnessed the provision of water infrastructure for 1300 villages in the country, which covers a population of 1.2 million people.

In this regard, Saeed Fethullahi, an expert in the field of water resources of the country, referring to the issue of water stress, said: “Water stress entered our management literature in the past years, and unfortunately, many water managers failed to develop water supply infrastructure by using water stress.” »

This water resource management expert said, “Fortunately, in the past year, the management of water resources in the country has undergone a policy change, and we are currently witnessing a serial solution to the problem of drinking water in cities and villages.”

According to Fars report, based on the plan presented by the 13th government in the Ministry of Energy, the plan to relieve water stress in the country’s cities in the next 4 years, focusing on consumption management and development of water supply infrastructure, is on the agenda.
