Project Study Area –
Water transfer
( from Karun upstream to Rafsanjan plain ) – Iran |
|
 |
|
Parts of the direct impact area near the Sulekan reservoir which are
classified as class III rangelands. These areas have been gradually
changed to croplands. These abandoned infertile and ruined lands have
been subject to significant loss of their agricultural capability in a
short period due to degradation of valuable soil profiles |

A
community of Pteropyrum, Ebenus, Acantholimon near Allahabad
(where the pipeline will cross), which is characterized by its variety of
endemic species |

A view of
the vegetation cover of the water pipeline area – The pipeline will
pass through a unique vegetation community in Tagestan pan which is
mostly covered by ecologically valuable endemic species. This community
inhabits a number of animal species. |

A view of the Pistachio orchards in
Rafsanjan pan. Transmission of water from Karun is expected to result in
positive socio-economic impacts in the region by improved Pistachio
orchards and export. |
