Armenia Having Fewer Water Resources

Armenia Having Fewer Water Resources

The level of Lake Sevan has dropped unprecedentedly. As of November 29, the level of Sevan made up 1900.33m, which is 13 cm lower than last year. Territories that have been covered with water for many years have been exposed, and all living creatures living there are under the threat of extinction. There is no need to talk about the creation of a near-bottom layer of water, a hypolimnion that protects the lake from swamping, which can form only after a certain height of the lake level above 1903.5 m.

Our country, like neighboring territories, is experiencing the consequences of climate change, and has seen almost no precipitation for 6 months. Shallow reservoirs. Water policy does not consider climate change scenarios that are becoming increasingly threatening. Weather forecasts are changeable, but no one has canceled global processes. We need urgent solutions, and a comprehensive program that will require possible political solutions.
