Water utilities suffer from the huge financial costs of treating and pumping water only to see it leak back into the ground and the lost revenues from water that could have otherwise been sold.<br \/> \tIf the water losses in developing countries could be halved, the saved water would be enough to supply around 90 million people.<br \/> \tAccording to data by the Geological Survey &#038; Mineral Explorations of Iran, some 37 million Iranians are living in water-stressed regions. It comes as per capita water use in metropolises such as Tehran and Isfahan exceeds 200 liters, whereas the global average is around 150 liters.<br \/> \tLocated in one of the world&#8217;s most water-stressed regions, Iran suffers from low rainfall and excessive consumption as well as high levels of water loss because of aging supply infrastructure and outdated irrigation methods.<br \/> \tEstablished in 1974, JICA is the primary Japanese governmental agency responsible for technical cooperation component of Japan&#8217;s bilateral ODA (Japan&#8217;s Official Development Assistance) program.<br \/> \tJICA is involved in broad-ranging projects in Iran&#8217;s water and power industries. It is providing assistance to Iran with a focus on development of domestic industries, reduction of disparities between urban and rural areas, environmental preservation, water resource management and disaster management.<br \/> \tShahin Pakrouh, a deputy at NWWEC, noted that the Japanese organization has engaged in training Iranian workforce on various water-related issues.<br \/> \t&#8220;Curtailing Khansar&#8217;s non-revenue water is a national project. Plans are in place to indigenize the technology to help curb water in Isfahan and elsewhere,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Iran and Japan on Saturday signed a basic agreement to cut water loss in central Iran with an eye on reducing the wastage of dwindling water resources across the national supply system.
