flow of the Voghji River 180 times. 'Big water intake causes
non-adherence to the environmental flow in the Voghji River in
Qajaran Town section from August to February. For August - February
months the environmental flow of the river was calculated 0.18m3/sec,
while it was recorded 0.001m3/sec,' 'Voghji River Basin: Analysis of
Pressure-Impact' document says in the frames of 'Clean Energy and
Water' document. Reminder: Zangezour Copper and Molybdenum Combine
