| Brief description of the project | |||
| Groundwater has long been used as the main source of fresh water and agricultural use in Assaluyeh and its surrounding villages. Leakage of petroleum condensate from the common condensate transfer pipe has caused groundwater contamination with petroleum compounds. Groundwater contamination with petroleum compounds will create many problems for the residents of the region and consequently have any legal consequences for the companies located in the region. Decreased water quality, disrupts the use for various purposes and requires appropriate methods for purification. | |||
