Illegal wells in Ararat Valley continue remaining in the focus of Nature Protection Ministry, as Nature Protection Minister Aramayis Grigoryan said at the press conference held on 23 December.
“This year the Nature Protection Ministry continued to give solutions to the problem of illegal wells in Ararat Region, as their number is increasing annually and new wells are being detected. We have liquidated 8 wells, and, as a result, we saved 68 liters of water per second. We have planned to liquidate another 22 wells presented by community heads, but because of financial problem, their liquidation works were left for 2016,” Aramayis Grigoryan said.
The Minister said that previously issued water usage permits could be reviewed for water saving without causing any lose to the households of legal and physical entities.
According to Aramayis Grigoryan, all the artesian wells should be operated in valve regime to ensure thorough saving of water.
