“The project to transfer sea water from the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman to Kerman Province is going to be a successful plan and in case it is viable, the project could be served as a role model for other provinces,” IRNA quoted the First Vice- President as saying.

The government is going to use all in its capacity to address the shortage of water in Kerman, Jahangiri said.
