SOS: Reservoir built by Armenia on Vedi river will cause a sharp decrease in the water level in Araz

Armenia will complete the construction of the reservoir on the Vedi River in 2023, the capacity of which is 32 million cubic meters. The French Development Agency granted a loan of 20 million euros to Armenia for the implementation of this project.

Said Safarov, head of the department of the Institute of Geography and Doctor of Geographic Sciences, told Qazet.az that considering that the Vedi River is one of the main sources that feed the transboundary river Araz, the implementation of such a project poses a risk for the water security of the region.
