In 2006 a program of tilt transfer from the lake was presented, even the work was estimated in the amount of 16 million AMD, and so far annually 5 million AMD has been provided to 'Water Structures' Company to conduct cleaning works, and even a garbage trapping station was constructed 500 meters far away from Yerevan lake towards Lake Sevan, which collects the garbage coming to the lake (mainly household garbage) and doesn't allow it to get into Yerevan Lake. Nevertheless, all these works don't produce any essential result, at present the lake is a stinky garbage dump instead of being a resort zone.
“Yerevan Lake' is a water reservoir, which we drastically need. We have rather few reservoirs and continuously raise this issue. It's a freshwater reserve and we have no right to look at this problem so frivolously,” said 'EcoLur' informational NGO President Inga Zarafyan.
