World Water Day
World Water Day
Message from the Head of the
Ministry of Jihad-Agriculture on World Water Day
According to the information
center of the Ministry of Jihad-Agriculture, Mr. Abbas Keshavarz, head of the
Minsitry, after referring to the point that this year world water day, as world
water and climate change day, added that: The importance of water is a global
issue and it does not belong to one country or region. All countries in the
world, even those living in rainy regions, need a plan and strategy to increase
water resources productivity.
Iran is in a dry and semi-arid climate and
this limitation has encouraged the past generation of this land to consider a
great value for water, especially in the desert regions of the country, and
used different ways to survive and cope with dehydration through greater
savings and productivity.
water is devoted to agriculture and food supply, both in our country and around
the world, increasing the efficiency of these resources through new methods of
irrigation, cultivation of plants with less water demand and through modifying
and promoting techniques such as introducing low-water plants, greater use of
green and gray waters, methods of cultivation, tillage and many other methods
such as developing greenhouse cultivation and conservation agriculture have
always been the main policies of the Ministry of Jihad- Agriculture.
end, I would like to thank and appreciate all the hardworking farmers who have
always appreciated the value of water and have embraced various methods of
water productivity, as well as I appreciate contributions of the managers,
experts and researchers in this field.
