Because of mining annually 1,607,000 cum industrial wastewater is dumped into the water resources of Meghri River basin. Agarak Copper and Molybdenum Combine developing Agarak copper and molybdenum mine annually dumps 1.5 million cum industrial wastewater, while “Sipan-1” LLC developing Litchqvaz-Tey and Terterasar gold mines annually dumps 107,000 cum industrial wastewater, as “Action Plan Aimed to Achieve Desirable State of Meghri River” program says developed by hydrologist Beniamin Zaqaryan at the end of 2014 in the frames of UNDP “Clean Energy and Water” program.
Besides industrial wastewater, the dumps of Agarak copper and molybdenum mine occupying an area of 22 ha and the dumps of Litchqvaz-Tey gold-polymetallic mine occupying an area of 1.2 ha have negative impact on Meghriget river basin added with negative impact of Darazam, Hovit 1 and Hovit 2 tailing dumps.
Beniamin Zaqaryan proposes to introduce new water cleaning technologies to clean the industrial wastewater of mining companies and to reclaim dumps by enhancing slopes with soil layers and ensuring vegetation, adhere to the technical exploitation rules of Hovit 1 and Hovit 2 tailing dumps, to rehabilitate 70-meter-long pipeline of the tailing dump polluting the water resource in Kartchevan river basin.
