About 20 years have passed since the construction and operation of the Zirdan Dam in southern Sistan and Baluchestan. Residents of 389 villages in the Chabahar and Dashtyari counties and 52 villages in the Talang district, with a population of over 120,000, still use untreated water from this dam. This issue, despite years of demands from the people and confirmation from officials, remains unresolved as it depends on securing 3 trillion tomans in funding for the establishment of the associated treatment plant.
ISNA is a semi-official Iranian news agency (Iranian Students News Agency). This is a translation of that outlet's own report; it is the outlet's account, not Artesh's finding.
