The water, drought, erosion and environment technologies development headquarter has issued a call to support the collaboration of the activists of the innovation and technology ecosystem in this field through technological solutions so that the destructive effects of corona on this area could be controlled.

According to the information center of national elites foundation, the water, drought, erosion and environment technologies development headquarter has issued a call to support technological projects related to the field during the outbreak of corona and similar crises. According to the call, all knowledge-based companies, startups, idea-makers and technologists are invited to send their projects to the headquarter.

Optimal management of water consumption in the context of the spread of similar diseases and crises and management strategies and dealing with the environmental consequences of measures to deal with the corona crisis, including the infiltration of pollutants such as disinfectants and detergents in the country's water and soil resources are topics of the call. Therefore, water technology and innovation ecosystem activists who have a plan in each of these areas can send their proposals to the headquarters.

The outbreak of corona has caused various problems in different parts of the society. Basic steps have been taken to treat and prevent the disease, but scant attention has been paid to some problems, such as high water and detergent consumption. Consumption of drinking water has increased by 30% due to the prevalence of corona in some parts of the country, which is an important issue due to limited resources.

In addition, the use of various pollutants and disinfectants and their contaminants in the soil by wastewater is another important issue that cannot be compensated for in water and soil resources if the pollution is not properly treated and managed. Therefore, in this regard, we need serious measures to maintain the health of the environment, living and water resources, soil and air. The publication of this call is also a step to prevent these problems by using technological measures.
