The law on Lake Ararat may undergo changes to increase the volumes of
its water pass (currently set at 170 million cubic meters annually),
said Karine Daniyelyan, head of the Association for Sustainable
Development, today.According to data from January 1, 2013, the lake's
water level was below 3cm, compared with the level in 2012. The
dropping water level was a result of the increase of its water pass
from 170 million to 313 million cubic meters in 2012 to irrigate the
Ararat Valley, said Vladimir Movsisyan, head of the Commission for
Sevan Affairs.A similar decision on the Sevan water pass was made to
prevent a drought in 2008.
