dameshoon garm, we need to preserve and store every drop of rain.
the company that built this dam (forgot their name) is pretty magnificent in dam building projects, remember visiting their site and reading about their projects underway. They got contracts in Armenia - work in progress; and recently won a contract to build a dam in Jordan.
Once we control all water supplies, the nest step is to build a national network of underground tunnels for redirecting water from different regions. It's the most essential thing. We get enough rain in Iran to support the population but it's not well stored and not very well distributed at all. All distribution is pretty much local to municipalty.
Take into example the Southern california, they hardly get any rain(except this year) but cuz of the channels they built yrs ago, they get their supply from northern california, and hoover dam.

Nah, any progress by these arabs is pooshAly and superficial. It probably was built by Japanese, and Iran had to take out loans from Japan to do it so for next 20 or 25 years Iran has to pay the interest. That's retarded.

Following the Islamic Revolution, Japan sent a special representative to discuss expansion of ties. During the war with Iraq, Japan repeatedly tried to act as an intermediary for peace but the opportunity never arose. For the last four decades Iran and Japan have kept up relations which have been mainly economic, particularly export of oil from Iran to Japan and automotives, photographic and electronic products from Japan to Iran. Iran supplies 10% of Japan's crude oil requirements. Further, Japan invested in pre-revolution Iran, and helped set up many assembly plants for production of household appliances. Two immense projects were underway as joint ventures when the war with Iraq broke out: the petrochemical project at Bandar Imam Khomeini (ex Bandar Shapour) and the Karoon Dam project. Since Japan and Islamic Republic could not then come to terms, Japan decided to abandon both projects. Continued negotiations, however, resulted in Japan's agreeing, in 1993, to pay the first part of the loan for building Karoon Dam: some 38.6 billion yens. This payment was made but Japan, under US pressure, refused to pay the following installments.
...
Just before Khatami's visit to Japan, documents and MOU's regarding the payment of about 7.5 million yens, as the second part of payments towards 4th Karoon Dam, were exchanged between the foreign ministries of the two countries. This loan is subject to 2.2% interest payable within 25 years from the date of completion of the project which is expected to take 7 years.

What's wrong with rish and why having no rish indicates a better image?
Look at these pictures, it shows ancient Iranians having rish.
Don't have a low self esteem becasue of how you or hamvatans look like.
And my cousin was an engineer in this project and according to her Iranians did the whole project with minimal counsulting help from foreign companies.

Well that's rather opbvious but at the same time the Greek and Roman empire were in existence and I have not seen any indiaction that they had beards as much as the ancient Persians despite having ni Gillet razors.
This tells me that growing and keeping rish-o-pashm has a very old cultural tradition in Iran.

payan,
Razor/Gillette is nothing more than a sharp blade which certainly existed 2500 years ago. As Tangseer already mentioned, the Roman and Greek soldiers used it to shave so that in one on one, hand combats the enemy could not grab their beard, not to mention their face could breath some more and get less warm during the heat of the battle. However, Iranians have always considered beard a sign of manhood and even refer to it as "mahaasen" (coming from Hosn, meaning something that is good).
Until recent introduction of Western culture, a man not having a full set of beard and worse shaving it intentionally was looked at the same way as a man plucking his eyebrows. Just because there is easy access to tweezers doesn't mean that cultural connotations of men plucking their eyebrows have changed. The same logic can apply to beard and razors.

hamatoon ke enghadr kootah fekrid khejalat bekeshid!
You who claim that rish is aghaboftadeh, do you realize you are judging millions
of ppl based on a visual property, just like a man being black!
Where is this world going where ppl tend to state" This is the 21st or 55st century,
arent we free to do what we want?"
You are all brainwashed by the ideals of west,about how men and woman should
look like! Did u even know that for woman shaving their legs, that became something
accepted and regular in the century turn (1900) in the US.
Its a shame.
