The board of directors of the ICID has elected the Iranian National
Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (IRNCID) as the best-performing national
committee for a three-year period.

IRNCID has been elected among 78 members based on its performance of the
members within three years. It’s the third time that the IRNCID is selected as
the best-performing committee, IRNA quoted Mehrzad Ehsani, the secretary

of irrigation, drainage, and flood management.
