The proposal was discussed at a meeting between
the chief executive of Dehdasht Petrochemical Industries Company and the head
of the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province Water and Wastewater Company,
according to the petrochemical firm.
Mohammad Shokri, chief executive of Dehdasht
Petrochemical, said construction of a 16-kilometre water transfer pipeline from
the Maroun River, designated as the project’s primary water source, had been
completed, with full pipe-laying works finalised.
He said the use of non-conventional water
resources, particularly treated municipal wastewater, had been emphasised under
Iran’s Seventh Development Plan, prompting the company to assess urban sewage
as a secondary source of supply in the coming years.
The approach aims to safeguard drinking water and
surface water resources while meeting environmental and sustainable development
requirements, Shokri added.
Reza Rezaei, head of the provincial water and
wastewater company, said the Dehdasht urban sewage network had sufficient
capacity and that his organisation was ready to cooperate on technical,
feasibility and implementation studies related to wastewater treatment and
reuse for industrial purposes.
The two sides agreed to establish a joint working
group to conduct comprehensive technical, economic and environmental
assessments of the plan, with findings to be submitted for final decision-making.
