Tehran – The world needs innovative and equitable solutions to ensure water safety for everyone, prevent social tensions, force migration, and prevent livelihood instability.

Global temperature rise threatens these important freshwater reservoirs. Their melting leads to many concerns about flooding, soil erosion and destruction of economic infrastructure, so their protection requires comprehensive diplomacy, environmental and social measures, he stressed.
Referring to Iran’s arid climatic conditions, Aleph said, “Iran’s water resources are heavily dependent on snow melting and water from natural glaciers. As one of the oldest civilizations in the world, Iran has developed various strategies for water management.
Officials continue to say that by combining indigenous knowledge with advanced skills, the country benefits from traditional and modern water management practices.
In addition to preserving historic structures as cultural heritage and usable infrastructure, Iran is carrying out extensive development projects such as dam construction, advanced technology and modern irrigation systems, recirculation technology and desalination plants.
The Vice President expressed optimism that high-level meetings will result in increased bilateral and multilateral cooperation, exchange of knowledge and expertise between nations, and strengthen practical measures such as implementing effective programs to enhance resilience to drought and flooding and empower communities against glaciers and water resources.
