The Public Council reported Saturday to the Armenia's President Serzh
Sargsyan about the necessity of passing from traditional stream fish
breeding systems of Ararat valley to partially closed water usage
system.
Public Council member Yuri Javadyan, chairman of the Agricultural and
Nature Protection Affairs Commission, told the reporters that at the
meeting with the president they briefed on the issue of usage of
Ararat valley's water resources.
`The permitted volume of usage is 1 billion 226 million cubic meters
while today more resources are being used for fish breeding and
irrigation purposes in particular,' he said.
`We have stream resources reaching 6.3 billion cubic meters, while we
manage to use just 2.5 billion in all the branches, losing the 3.7,'
Javadyan stressed.
`The main problem is the speedy consumption of water. We propose
creation of automatical management systems to reduce the risks and
getting an opportunity to conduct right water management,' he said.
Referring to the fish economies, Javadyan said the 70% of water return
principal should be applied here. `The proposals were discussed and
will be presented to the government. A special program will be worked
out. All this should be done in a year as today the consumption of the
resources is very speedy causing complications for us and the fish
economies as well. They will be deprived of water,' he said.
Javadyan said 122 wells out of 300 near Metsamor have been dried out
while the water generation in 17 wells in Masis has reduced 5.5 times.
`It would have been possible to prevent all this on time in case of
having right management,' Javadyan said.
