The drainage problem, lack of complete disposal of surface runoff, the existence of ponded water due to the low soil permeability, have led to the lack of waterways and natural canals with the desired capacity for runoffs in Golestan province. Therefore, the preliminary study of drainage plan has been performed for the northern lands of Gorganrood and Qarasu.
Considering the size of the region and the lack of funds for the study and implementation of drainage projects, the Water and Sewerage Company put these projects on the agenda. its priority is work and the capabilities of various companies. In this regard, the study of a region located in the north of Gonbad with an area of ۷۵,۰۰۰ hectares was assigned to Mouj Ab Fan Consulting Engineering.
