Voghji River - Water Pulse of Kapan Town in Disastrous Condition in 2011
EcoLur
The Voghji River, the water pulse of Kapan Town, was in disastrous condition in 2011. Under the annual report by “Environmental Impact Monitoring Center” SNCO for 2012, the average annual concentration of selenium exceeded MPC in the sections of the Voghji River downwards Kapan Town by 4.0 times, copper – 128, manganese – 15.7, zinc – 12.6, vanadium – 2.0. The average annual concentration of aluminum upwards Kapan Town exceeded MPC by 14.0 times.
Thus, the concentration of copper in the river water made up 1280 μg/l, aluminum - 560 μg/l, selenium - 40 μg/l, manganese - 785 μg/l, zinc – 630 μg/l, vanadium - 20 μg/l. Under EcoLur’s Ecological Risk Model, the disastrous condition of the Voghji River is conditioned with the excessive concentrations of copper, manganese and zinc in the river water.
