As of now, there is only 2000 ha of irrigated land in Karabakh, and
it is foreseen to increase this area up to 4000 ha, said the NKR prime
minister Ara Harutiunyan during the meeting of the NKR government with
the acting president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. It is foreseen to
increase the area of irrigated land to 10 thousand hectares by 2010.
In 2008 the government allocated 1660 million drams for the irrigation
project. The project involves changing the direction of the river
Trgeh to flow into the reservoir of Sarsang and the construction of
3 water power plants on the river. It will allow irrigating 1610 ha
of land in the villages of Chapar, Zardakhach, Haterk, Zaglik in the
region of Martakert and the village of Aknaberd in Shahumyan.
It is also foreseen to lay out an open water pipeline from the
reservoir of Khachen to Nor Maragha and Martakert, which will irrigate
another 1500 ha of farming land in the region of Martakert, as well
as a 3.8 km branch of the water pipeline Khachen-Martakert.
