During a visit to Kotayk region, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan watched construction works of Marmarik reservoir.

“Marmarik reservoir will help develop Armenian water industry. It will also allow to save electric power essential for water supply of territories where natural water flows do not reach,” he said.

“The reservoir will offer a possibility to reduce the number of water intakes in Lake Sevan and prevent spring floods,” said Andranik Andreasyan, head of the state committee of water industry of Armenia.

Construction works amounting to AMD 4.6bln are carried out in the framework of a WB program.
