EcoLur
The Gizhget River flows in Syunik Region, it’s the right tributary to Sisian, while the latter is one of the tributaries to the Vorotan River. The Gizhget River starts from the central part of Zangezour mountains and joins the river near Arevis River. Its lenght is 8.5 km.
“Arevis-1” SHPP is being constructed on this river, under the project its derivation length will be 2478 meters. Thus, the SHPP will pipe a total river area of 2478 meters, which will make up 29․1529412% of the river.
Under EcoLur’s Ecological Risk Model, it will cause critical situation for the river.
