Yuri Javadyan, candidate of technical sciences, suggests building a
joint reservoir with Turkey on the cross-section of rivers Arax and
Akhuryan. Armenia already has a common reservoir with Turkey on river
Akhuryan with a capacity of 525 million cubic meter water. Javadyan
made the suggestion at a scientific meeting on Arax and Kur rivers
at the National Academy of Sciences.
Javadyan said floods destroy 500 hectare of land costing USD 1 million
in expenditures per annum.
Therefore, he thinks that the reservoir will diminish the dangers of
floods. Moreover, he thinks that such a water pool may be used for
hydro energy purposes. /Panorama.am/
