Tehran – Every year on March 3rd (Esfand 13th), Iran marks its National Water Day.

 

The annual observance serves as a crucial moment to address the nation's water challenges and reaffirm its commitment to long-term environmental and economic stability.

Water's significance in Iran's agricultural sector is undeniable. It acts as a fundamental input, directly influencing food security and driving economic activity. In a nation characterized by arid and semi-arid conditions, the efficient management of this precious resource is not merely a priority, but a necessity.

Given the growing pressures on our water resources, particularly in agriculture, Iran must accelerate its efforts to adopt sustainable practices.

Recognizing the urgency, Iran's Seventh Development Plan strongly emphasizes transforming agricultural water management.
