Evelina Ghukasyan, Director of Hydroecology and Ichthyology Institute
of NAS RA, forecasts no increase in Lake Sevan level for 2015 due to
climate changes. "Climate changes can extremely adversely affect on
the water balance of Lake Sevan. The thickness of snow cover is very
low in Gegharkounik region, the flow of rivers can't be sufficient to
increase the level of Lake Sevan in case of relevant water outlets,"
Evelina Ghukasyan said in her interview with EcoLur.
Reminder: in 2014 negative balance of Lake Sevan level was recorded
in 2014. As of 21.12.2014, the lake level made up 1900.13 m, which
is lower by 4 cm as compared with the last year (1900.17 m). The
officials don't exclude additional water outlets from Lake Sevan for
2015 in case of water lack. The Armenian Government already hinted
about the lack of water at its meeting on 5 February.
