The water of the River Kharatanoc in the region of Lori will soon flow
in a new riverbed. In the framework of the project "Exploiting Teghut's
copper-molybdenum mine" the new riverbed of the River Kharatanoc
has already been concreted so that the river is isolated from the
tailings dump. One of Teghout's residents Samvel Meliqsetyan says
that they haven't been using the water of the River Shnogh for about
one and a half year because the quality of the water has got worse,
EcoLur reported.
As the Mayor of Teghout Harutyun Meliksetyan told "EcoLur" currently
people have been using their natural sources for drinking water. There
are three waterlines in Teghout two of which provide drinking water
of good quality from natural sources and the third's water is used
for technical purposes.
The drinking water pipeline Stepanavan-Noyemberyan hasn't been
brought to Teghout community, the region of Lori. Let us remind you
that the community expected the pipeline to reach Teghut still at
the end of 2010.
Teghout forest is felled for the development of copper and molybdenum
mine. Teghout project plans to carry out reforestation in 714 ha
territory.
