Problems and challenges

The main challenges of the water supply and sanitation system are the shortage of projects compared to the demand, although the arsenic problem is not evident but the iron problem exists. There is also a piped water supply system in the municipalities. In the absence of sustainable sanitation technology, the problem of sanitation in wild affected areas is evident.
