He stated: “Given the specific geographical location of Isfahan province and frequent droughts, the issue of industrial water supply has been on the agenda for years, and with the establishment of the Water Transfer and Large Industries Joint Stock Company of the province, a path to utilize sustainable resources such as the water of the Oman Sea has been provided.” Stating that the water transfer project from the sea has been designed in two phases, he clarified: “The first phase of this project includes transferring water with a branch from the 339 km long Vasco line to Isfahan, which extends in two northern and southern routes with lengths of 240 km and 219 km. The northern route of this project delivers water to the Isfahan Refinery, where the trial operation of this phase has already begun at the Isfahan Refinery, and it is planned that about 700,000 cubic meters of water will be supplied to the Isfahan Refinery’s monthly needs through this route.
