Background

Our country (Iran) with average annual precipitation of about 250mm is considered as an arid and semiarid climate. Sustainable shortage of rainfall has led to adverse foundation for supplying and distributing water for different uses. One of these efforts, which roots to the Islamic thought –Vaghf- has been shown in the distribution of drinking water in Shiraz city. The first water pipeline has been erected by Mr. Namazi (God bless him). His foundation, named, "Bongah AB Shiraz" had the responsibility of distribution of drinking water in the city. The refining center of water was also built in the vicinity of Namazi hospital.

The first formal foundation for the management of water affairs in the country, was confirmed in 1943, named independent water foundation (Bongah E Mostaghel E Abyari). In 1963 the proposal for innovation of water and electricity ministry was suggested and confirmed. Two years later, in 1965, the foundation of water authorities was established and in 1969 Fars regional water authority was established. This company was responsible for water resources management in three provinces (Fars, Bushehr and Koh. And Buyer Ahmad). Recently the other two provinces are separated in management and three companies are independent of each other now.
