temperatures have lessened the level of Lake Sevan by three
centimeters, according to Armenian nature protection ministry, which
attributed it to extensive evaporation.

ago standing now at 1,898 m and 57 centimeters above sea level. The
authorities will let out this year 120 million cubic meters of water
from the Lake for irrigation purposes.
