New aquaculture system in Armenia reduces groundwater consumption
A model fish-production farm that uses new, water-saving production methods is being inaugurated today in Sayat-Nova, in Armenia’s Ararat province. The new installation was made possible by an FAO project and a public private-partnership.
Groundwater levels in the Ararat Valley have been falling in recent years due to overutilization – by aquaculture and other sectors. At the request of the Government of Armenia, FAO developed an efficient solution for maintaining fish production while significantly reducing water use.
