    The economic activities caused the decrease of the environmental
    flow of the Voghji River 180 times. 'Big water intake causes
    non-adherence to the environmental flow in the Voghji River in
    Qajaran Town section from August to February. For August - February
    months the environmental flow of the river was calculated 0.18m3/sec,
    while it was recorded 0.001m3/sec,' 'Voghji River Basin: Analysis of
    Pressure-Impact' document says in the frames of 'Clean Energy and
    Water' document. Reminder: Zangezour Copper and Molybdenum Combine
    is the largest industrial giant in Qajarn Town.

    Seven SHPPS don't adhere to the standards of the environmental flow
    of the Voghji River basin in the section of the Voghji River starting
    from the place it joins with the Geghi River to Kapan Town, which are
    as follows: 'Voghji 2' abd 'Voghji 3' owned by 'Kapan Energy' CJSC,
    'Ler X SHPP 2' owned by 'Ler X' LLC, 'Ler X SHPP 4' owned by 'Ler X'
    LLC, 'Ler X SHPP 6' owned by 'Ler X' LLC, 'Ler X SHPP 3' owned by
    'Ler X' LLC, 'Tsav' SHPP owned by 'Lesoma' CJSC and 'Tigran and
    Ashkhen SHPP-1' SHPP owned by 'Tigran and Ashkhen' public company.

    Another 6 SHPPs are in the construction stage - 'Geghi-1' SHPP by
    'Tasman' LLC, 'Voghji-1' owned by 'Kapan Energy'and 'Ler X Energy'
    LLC owned by 'Ajibaj-6', 'Geghi SHPP-1' owned by 'Zangezour Copper
    and Molybdenum Combine' CJSC.
