Evelina Ghukasyan, Director of Hydroecology and Ichthyology Institute of NAS RA, forecasts no increase in Lake Sevan level for 2015 due to climate changes. “Climate changes can extremely adversely affect on the water balance of Lake Sevan. The thickness of snow cover is very low in Gegharkounik region, the flow of rivers can’t be sufficient to increase the level of Lake Sevan in case of relevant water outlets,” Evelina Ghukasyan said in her interview with EcoLur.
Reminder: in 2014 negative balance of Lake Sevan level was recorded in 2014. As of 21.12.2014, the lake level made up 1900.13 m, which is lower by 4 cm as compared with the last year (1900.17 m). The officials don’t exclude additional water outlets from Lake Sevan for 2015 in case of water lack. The Armenian Government already hinted about the lack of water at its meeting on 5 February.
