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.
