The project to desalinate water from the Sea of Oman and transfer it to Sistan and Baluchestan Province is 12% complete, Iran’s Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade, Abbas Aliabadi announced.
The government allocated over $3.2 billion for the project, which will provide fresh water to people in the eastern provinces, said Aliabadi, according to IRNA.
