Iran: Water Transfer Project Approved In Parliament

The Iranian parliament has authorized the start of construction works on a major water transfer project from the Sea of Oman in southeastern Iran. The project comes amid Iran’s renewed push to obtain its water rights from the Helmand River in Afghanistan. The water transfer project from the Sea of Oman has its own critics inside Iran as some have expressed concerns about the environmental ramifications of the projects as well as its huge financial costs.
