Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the Vedi community of Ararat region to get acquainted with the programs being implemented and met with residents.

Within the framework of the regional visit, the Prime Minister first visited the newly built Vedi reservoir. The total cost of the project was 90 million euros. Those responsible noted that the total volume of the reservoir is 29 million m3. As a result of the implementation of the project, uninterrupted and reliable irrigation of about 3,220 hectares of land in 11 settlements of the Ararat Valley will be ensured, a transition from mechanical irrigation to gravity irrigation will be made, as a result, about 19.0 million kWh of electricity will be saved annually. At the same time, irrigation network losses will be reduced by 20-25%, and the construction of an on-farm irrigation network in pilot areas will make it possible to use new technologies (drip irrigation).
