The Iranian government sets the environmental concerns as a priority in development projects, the country's President Hassan Rouhani said.
Rouhani said the Lake Urmia, which has suffered from rapid drought during past years, has reached a stable situation finally.
“Government has been attempting to prevent the lake from drying up, which would put the life of 14 million citizens under danger of salt storms,” Trend cited him as saying.
Rouhani also said that Iran’s Euro 4 gasoline production was increased by 10 times to 25 million liters per day, while gas production increased by 140 million cubic meters since mid 2013.
He said that increasing gas output led to lower liquid fuel consumption in power plants.
