Karabakh building new reservoir, pipeline towards StepanakertNovember 19, 2021 - 14:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The construction of a 22 km pipeline taking water from the Patara River in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) to the capital of Stepanakert is underway, the President's office has revealed, according to CivilNet. The project is set to be completed in July 2022. Also, a reservoir will be built on the river by 2025, given that the Artsakh Water Committee has already ordered documents to determine the design and estimated cost. In the summer, a number of districts of Stepanakert were left without water due to the drought, that's why the construction of the pipeline connecting the Patara River to the water supply system of the capital has become urgent. Artsakh also lost most of its energy capacity in the war unleashed by Azerbaijan in fall 2020. Now Karabakh is forced to import electricity, whereas prior to the war, the country was an energy exporter. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
