On average, Armenia has sufficient water resources. Taking into account all available water resources in the country, Armenia has sufficient resources to supply approximately 3,100 cubic meters per capita per year well above the typically cited Falkenmark water stress indicator of 1,700 cubic meters per capita per year. These water resources are not evenly divided in space and time with significant seasonal and annual variability in river runoff. In order to address temporal variations in river runoff, the country has built 87 dams with a total capacity of 1.4 billion cubic meters. Most of these dams are single purpose, mainly for irrigation. Armenia also has considerable groundwater resources, which play an important role in the overall water balance. About 96 percent of the water used for drinking purposes and about 40 percent of water abstracted in the country comes from groundwater. Irrigation remains the largest consumptive user.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSTRACTION FEESACCESS TO DATAACCESS TO WATERAGRICULTURAL WATERAGRICULTURAL WATER USERSALLOCATION OF WATERANNUAL RUNOFFAQUACULTUREAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMAQUIFERSARTESIAN WELLSARTIFICIAL WETLANDSASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATERAVAILABILITY OF WATERAVAILABLE WATERAVAILABLE WATER RESOURCESAVERAGE ANNUAL PRECIPITATIONBASINSBILATERAL AGENCIESBILATERAL AGREEMENTSBILLINGCANALSCAPACITY BUILDINGCLIMATE CHANGECOLLECTION EFFICIENCYCOLLECTION OF WATERCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCONSTRUCTIONCONSUMERSCONTRACT ENFORCEMENTCONTRACT PERIODCOOLING WATERCOST RECOVERYCROP YIELDSCUBIC METERCUBIC METER OF WATERCUBIC METERSDAMSDEPLETION OF GROUNDWATER RESOURCESDOMESTIC WATERDOMESTIC WATER CONSUMPTIONDOMESTIC WATER SUPPLIESDRAINAGEDRAINAGE SYSTEMDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLYDRIP IRRIGATIONELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEVAPORATIONFISHFISH FARMINGFISH FARMSFISH SPECIESFLOOD FORECASTINGFLOODINGFRESHWATERGASGRAVITYGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER ISSUESGROUNDWATER QUANTITYGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGROUNDWATER SOURCEGROUNDWATER USEGROUNDWATER USERSGROUNDWATER ZONEHEAVY METALSHOUSEHOLD WATERHOUSEHOLD WATER USEHYDROGEOLOGYHYDROLOGYHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER GENERATIONHYDROPOWER PLANTHYDROPOWER PLANTSINDUSTRIAL WATERINTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINSINVESTMENT COSTSINVESTMENT PLANNINGINVESTMENT PROJECTIRRIGABLE LANDSIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION CANALSIRRIGATION PURPOSESIRRIGATION SYSTEMSIRRIGATION WATERIRRIGATION WATER SUPPLYLAKE LEVELLAKESLARGE RESERVOIRSLITERS PER SECONDLIVESTOCK ACTIVITIESMAINTENANCE COSTSMANAGEMENT OF WATERMEASUREMENTSNATIONAL WATER COUNCILNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATURAL RESOURCESNONREVENUE WATERNUCLEAR POWEROPERATOR CONTRACTPIPEPOLLUTIONPOWER GENERATIONPRESSUREPRIVATE COMPANIESPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUMP IRRIGATIONPUMPINGPUMPING STATIONSQUALITY OF WATERQUALITY WATERRAINRAINWATERRAINWATER HARVESTINGRECYCLED WATERRESERVOIRSRESPONSIBILITY FOR WATERRIPARIAN COUNTRIESRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANSRIVER BASINSRIVER FLOWRIVERSRUNOFFRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATIONSANITATION SYSTEMSSERVICE FEESEWERAGE COMPANYSEWERAGE NETWORKSNOWSPRINGSSTORAGE CAPACITYSTREAMFLOWSURFACE RUNOFFSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER BODIESSURFACE WATER QUALITYSURFACE WATER QUANTITYSURFACE WATERSSUSTAINABLE WATERSUSTAINABLE WATER SUPPLYTELEMETRYTHERMAL POWERTRANSBOUNDARY WATERSTREATIESTREATMENT PLANTSUNACCOUNTED FOR WATERUTILITIESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER COLLECTIONWASTEWATER DISCHARGEWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIESWASTEWATER UTILITIESWATER ABSTRACTIONWATER ALLOCATIONWATER AVAILABILITYWATER BASINWATER BILLSWATER BODIESWATER CODEWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER CONVEYANCEWATER DEMANDSWATER FEESWATER FLOWSWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER INTAKEWATER MANAGEMENTWATER METERWATER METERINGWATER METERSWATER MONITORING STATIONSWATER POLICYWATER PRICINGWATER PROTECTIONWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTWATER QUANTITYWATER RECYCLINGWATER REQUIREMENTWATER RESERVOIRWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER SECTORWATER SERVICEWATER SOURCESWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMWATER SYSTEMWATER SYSTEMSWATER TABLEWATER TARIFFSWATER USAGEWATER USEWATER USERWATER USER ASSOCIATIONSWATER USERSWATER USERS ASSOCIATIONSWATER USESWATERSHEDSWELLSWETLANDS10.1596/978-1-4648-0335-2
