YEREVAN, JUNE 7, ARMENPRESS: Five people have drowned over the 5
months of 2010 in the water objects of the republic, 2 of them -
in Lake Sevan.
An official from the Emergency Management Center of the Armenian Rescue
Service of the Armenian Emergency Situations Ministry told Armenpress
that the above mentioned accidents are mainly connected with fishing.
The drowning cases in Lake Sevan have taken place in the beaches and
territories which are not controlled by water rescuers. After the
opening of the swimming period the control over 100 water objects of
the republic will be more strengthened.
Explanation works will be carried out in the circle of the population
to prevent the cases of water drowning. Within the frameworks of
"Emergency Situations Development Project", besides the security
oversight of the shores of water objects, works on replenishment with
engineering, on regulating the traffic of boats and other means of
water transport will be implemented.
An official from the center told Armenpress that through the help of
the Armenian water rescue detachment a constant control in 19 points of
Lake Sevan will be possible to conduct. In the other shores, which have
been privatized, the control is either weak or just is not implemented.
Last year 20 cases of drowning were registered in the republic,
3 of which in Sevan. The accidents took place in non-controlled shores.
