The agreement was reached in a meeting between officials from Iran's energy ministry and the Dutch infrastructure and environment ministry in Dutch capital on Sunday.
The Iranian and Dutch officials underlined the need for cooperating in the fields of water management, water governance, research and development in water issues and risk reduction plans.
In a relevant development in October 2016, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Iranian energy ministry and Dutch infrastructure and environment ministry.
In relevant remarks in October 2016, Dutch Infrastructure and Environment Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen said that the Netherlands was ready to cooperate with Iran in desalination and agricultural wastewater treatment.
According to Schultz van Haegen, issues like river management, water shortage management, training Iranian managers in Dutch companies, etc. could pave the way for more cooperation.
Also a contract to make a solar power plant in Iran was signed in April, 2016.
