The Director General of the Water Affairs Office of the Ministry of Agriculture said: 85% of authorized wells and 100% of unauthorized wells do not have meters and therefore their consumption cannot be measured and controlled. Reza Serafrazi also added that we have been demanding for this issue for years, but only 15% of authorized wells have meters. Our plan is that in the development process, the wells will be smart and have meters.
He continued: To implement the cultivation pattern, we also need to convert the volume of water in order to present the cultivation pattern to the farmers in accordance with the water volume plan.
Serafrazi said: It is on this basis that we can say, for example, what the cultivation pattern in a certain area should be or not. Also, the delivery of water needed by the agricultural sector should be at a specific place and time, but unfortunately we still have problems in these areas.
