On 31 March Agriculture Minister Sergo Karapetyan visited “Arpa-Sevan Tunnel”, where he was introduced the progress of rehabilitation works, as the Information and Public Relations Department of Agriculture Ministry informs.
Rehabilitation works are carried out in daily shifts – 7 months a year (from 1 September to 1 April), while works are stopped during spring floods, from 1 April to 1 September, to allow water to flow into Lake Sevan.
“The current rehabilitation works planned for this year have been accomplished, so we can start letting out water of Lake Sevan starting from 5 April,” Sergo Karapetyan said.
Under the official source, 545.5 million cum water was transferred to Lake Sevan through “Arpa-Sevan” tunnel in 2010-2014.

PS: The transported vol of water is tragically low. This makes less than 110 million/year, while the capacity is more than 360 million/year.
The rest goes to th torks, by making rich some small hydropower owners....
