YEREVAN, JULY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Almost none of over 20 sewerage stations
operates in Armenia at present. Only Aeratsia out of them operates,
but only by 20% of its capacity. Marina Vardanian, the head of the
programs of the Economic Development Office of the USAID, said at the
seminar under the title "Media and Water Sphere" held on July 11-12
in Tsakhkadzor. In her words, no monitoring of underground waters
has been implemented over the past 14 years in Armenia.
M. Vardanian said that though there is some progress in the respect of
law in the water sphere, in particular, a number of laws regulating
the sphere have been adopted, nevertheless, use of these laws is
considered as the primary task. In her words, ensuring of Yerevan’s
24-hour water supply, as well as water supply of nearly 600 rural
communities of Armenia are also very important issues. By the way,
no investment program is implemented in these communities at present.
