Water Problems in Armenia as Presented by Scientist

In 1992 when the United Nations General Assembly declared 22 March as World Day for Water and proposed all states to hold events on this day dedicated to the use and conservation of water resources. 2005-2015 was declared as an international decade of “Water for Life” actions, and each year has its slogan with the slogan for 2013 being “Water Cooperation”. Under the same slogan “EcoLur” press Club held a press conference, where the speakers were Bardukh Gabrielyan, Director of Scientific Center for Zoology and Hydroecology of NAS RA, Dr. in Biological Sciences, and “EcoLur” Informational NGO President Inga Zarafyan. Their raised the problems of Lake Sevan and the rivers of Armenia and particularly focused on the Yeghegis River, which has 12 SHPs constructed on it. The most interesting fact was that the Institute of Hydroecology and Ichthyology doesn’t have water for over 6 months.
