    ArmInfo. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has ratified the
    amendments to the Program of Restoration, Preservation and Reproduction
    of Lake Sevan Ecosystem approved by the Parliament on Thursday.

    While presenting the bill to the Parliament Chairman of the State
    Committee of Water Management, Ministry of Territorial Administration,
    Andranik Adreasyan said that it was carefully discussed and a consensus
    was achieved. Thus, the water release quota was increased to 240
    million cubic meters from 170 million cubic. However, due to severe
    droughts, the government had to request more flush for agricultural
    needs. Thus, another 120 million cubic meters (to 360) are required to
    provide about 200,000 farms with water.

    The 90 million cubic meters Aparan water reservoir is full by one-third
    and even half of the 70 mln cubic meter Azatek reservoir is not full.
    The necessary 100 million cubic meters will be released from Sevan.
    Hrazdan River supplies 110 as against 160 million cubic meters of
    water. The law will be effective till 1 December 2008. Afterwards the
    flush will be reduced to the former 170 million cubic meters.
