watershed management in North Khorasan; Dam protector or antidote after sundown?

Nestrin Alibadi - IRNA reporter

The dams of North Khorasan are facing a silent danger, and the sediment that sits quietly in the reservoirs and takes up a share of the water storage area every year raises the question of whether watershed management can be a protector for the dams, or does prevention become a panacea after the accumulation of sediment?

Today, the dam's reservoir may appear full of water, but some of its capacity is quietly buried under layers of sediment. In this regard, one of the most important challenges of the district is the increase of precipitation in Shirin Dara Dam in Mana city.
