Audit Court wants Iran Caspian water project documents

Azerbaijan, Baku, May 15/Trend M. Moezzi Iran's Supreme Audit Court and another ministry have asked the Energy Ministry for documents on the project to transfer water from the Caspian Sea to the country's central region. The Supreme Audit Court's request comes days after another supervisory body, the General Inspection Office of Iran (GIO) asked for information on the same project, Fars news agency reports. Inaugurated in the Mazandaran Province's town of Sari, the pipeline is to deliver water southeast to the Semnan Province in its first phase. Once completed, the project will send 500 million cubic meters of desalinated water from the Caspian to central Iran annually. Requesting documents and information on projects isn't unusual and the administration had planned to send details of its project to the GIO anyway, said an unnamed energy ministry official.
