YEREVAN, AUGUST 3. ARMINFO. A three-day seminar “Management of water
resources, designing of water reservoirs and permissions for use of
water” underway in Yerevan.

Management and Preservation of Water Resources of Armenia and the

effective application of the two major provisions of the Water Code of
Armenia: design and management of water reservoirs and provision of
