in Armenia to help install and test new Italian equipment for the
water purifying station of Kashi (Leather) company, located in the
Hrazdan River gorge. The project is the joint effort of USAID,
Comprehensive Water Resource Management and ARD Inc programs.

all international standards, is already in Armenia.
According to Dshkhuhi Sahakian, coordinator of the project,

waste water purifying equipment and the waste water flows
uninterruptedly into the river since 1990.
