YEREVAN, April 17. /ARKA/. The South Caucasus water management bodies
should coordinate their activities, said USAID Water Management
Program Head Inessa Gabayan.
Water bodies in the region are being observed at present, and USAID
has provided Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia with necessary equipment
for the research, according to Gabayan.
She pointed out that Azerbaijan which is lower in altitude than Armenia
always complains that the latter pollutes water resources. Gabayan
called it a political speculation.
The purpose of the USAID Management Program is to strengthen regional
cooperation in water management, she reported.
"Our objective was to contribute to institutional development of the
water management authorities and coordinate water quality monitoring
in the region," Gabayan said.
The program will be completed on May 2, 2008.
