The resources of Lake Sevan could help us cope with the imminent
water shortage problem this year, says Vladimir Movsisyan, the head
of a committee dealing with the problems of Sevan.
Speaking to Tert.am, Movsisyan said that an expert committee at the
Armenian National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has issued permission
for releasing 280 cubic meters of water from the lake.
"We consider our proposal justified and find that 280 cubic meters
could help us resolve the deadlock. We have sent the conclusion to
them in written form," he said.
The committee issued a positive conclusion considering that the
scarcity of water resources would not be enough for agriculture
this year.
Asked whether the argument sounds convincing, Movsisyan said, "Our
experts, I am very sorry to say, are not randomly selected people.
Besides none of them is interested to cause the least damage to Sevan.
Our calculations are justified. The irrigation season began on May
2 this year; last year it began on June 21."
As for the other justification, the expert said that the quantity of
water in the reservoirs of Aparan and Azat was 750 cubic meters more
compared to this year.
