HANDLING WHEAT PROBLEM THROUGH LAKE SEVAN WATER LEVEL
On 19 August the National Assembly of Armenia is to discuss in its special session the question of releasing certain amount of water from Lake Sevan for irrigation, said Andranik Andreasyan, the chairman of Water Network State Committee of the Territorial Administration in a briefing after the Government session.
Note that on 24 July the Government of Armenia made a decision to in crease the number of released water of the Lake Sevan for the irrigation in 2008.
According to Andreasyan, the amount of water released from the lake is not sufficient for the irrigation, as the irrigation season in 2008 started earlier than in usual. Hence, the decision is made to escape wheat problem.
