Biggest water supply plan to be launched in southern Iran

Speaking to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) on Tuesday, Khuzestan governor Gholamreza Shariati said after the implementation of Ghadir 2 project the water will be supplied from Karkheh River.

Ghadir 3 project is also aimed to supply water from Dez River which is predicted to be exploited in three years, he said.

Water shortage and pollution of fresh water resources have recently caused protests in some cities in Khuzestan Province.

Khorramshahr was also the scene of similar street protests on Saturday.

'During street protests some people were provoked while there were others who took advantage of the situation and embarked on actions that resulted in tarnishing the security and disciplinary conditions,' Iran's Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli had earlier said.
