Khachatryan: We should reduce use of Sevan water for irrigation
Sunday, June 01, 2014
"Over a third of Lake Sevan's water is used for agricultural needs of
the country. The level of artesian water has declined both in Ararat
Valley and in Kotayk and Aragatsotn provinces. We will face shortages
of drinking and irrigation water unless urgent measures are taken,"
the deputy of Prosperous Armenia (BHK) faction Lyova Khachatryan told
Nature Protection Minister Aramais Grigoryan today during discussions
of the 2013 state budget execution report in the Armenian parliament
today.
The minister agreed that it is an urgent problem, noting that the
ministry is taking the necessary measures which have already produced
results.
"An interdepartmental commission will be set up soon. We will involve
deputies as well. On the prime minister's instruction, checks are now
underway in fish farms to reduce water consumption," Grigoryan said.
In his words, they also plan to create a scientific council that will
consist of NGO representatives and experts.
