Location of the irrigation facilities of this canal is shown in Figure A-10. Dimensions and design specifications of this canal are shown in the Table A-1. Figure A-1 Intake of Arzni-Branch Canal (No.1) Figure A-2 Arzni-Branch Canal (No.4) ・ Upstream portion of this canal is being managed by Yeghvart WUA and downstream portion of this canal is being managed by Ashutarak WUA. Water intake from the Arzni-Shamiram Canal is performed every WUA. Ashutarak WUA are not using running water from the upstream of this canal and have directly water intake by the pipeline from Arzni-Shamiram Canal and have water distribution by a pipeline network to the beneficiary areas of Arzni-Branch Canal.

Surplus water is used for irrigation of agricultural land around Sasunik town. Figure A-7 End of using canal (No.33 ) ・ The discharge of this canal is 7.0m3/s at the beginning part and 2.0m/s at the end part. The canal cross section is B1.9m × H1.4m at the beginning part and B2.5m × H1.5m, at the end part. For more information, refer Table A-1 Arzni-Branch Canal’s dimensions and specifications. ・ Although the Connection Canal for water injection into Thakahan Canal near the end of this canal can be confirmed, it is not currently used.

Although distribution gate has been confirmed 38 places, gate leafs of 7 places under the control of Ashutarak WUA (No.33,35,41,43,44) are missing and 12 places (No.34,35,36,38,40,41,42,43,44) of downstream of No.33 point are not currently used. Figure A-10 shows Gate positions. Although the size of gates is different in B = 0.30m ~ 0.95m × H = 0.5m ~ 1.9m, Diversion per one gate is estimated to be 0.02 ~ 0.04m3/s approximately from the following. a) Estimated from the maximum water intake and distribution gate number Maximum water intake 1.084m3/s÷distribution gates in use 26places =0.04m3/s b) Estimated from the water depth measured by water measurement facility of downstream side of distribution gate (No.8 point) Vc=√(9.81×0.05)=0.70m/s Q=0.05×0.60×0.70=0.021m3/s Figure A-11 Distribution Gate (Slide Gate) Figure A-12 Distribution Gate (Bulb) (No.3 ) (No.34) 2) Condition of facilities (Deterioration and damage) ・ The upstream portion of this canal under the control of Yeghvart WUA is renovated in recent years, except for the most upstream section, The condition of canal is generally good (Figure A-13). ・ It is found a damaged concrete portion at side wall at about 500m section of the non-renovation of downstream of crossing point of railway portion near the intake structure of this canal (Figure A-14). ・ It is found water leakage from the joint of the side wall of the No.18 point aqueduct bridge (Figure A-15).

  • Patient Satisfaction Survey Baseline Evaluation in Aragatsotn
    PATIENT SATISFACTION SURVEY BASELINE EVALUATION IN ARAGATSOTN, ARMAVIR, AND ARARAT MARZES 2008 DISCLAIMER This publication is made possible by the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was prepared by the Primary Health Care Reform (PHCR) Project, Armenia. The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the USAID or the United States Government. Preface The Primary Healthcare Reform (PHCR) project is a nationwide five-year (2005-2010) program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under a contract awarded to Emerging Markets Group, Ltd. (EMG) in September 2005. The project’s primary objective is the increased utilization of sustainable, high-quality primary healthcare services leading to the improved health of Armenian families. This objective is operationalized by supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) to implement a package of six interventions that links policy reform with service delivery so that each informs the other generating synergistic effects. These six interventions address healthcare reforms and policy support (including renovation and equipping of facilities); open enrollment; family medicine; quality of care; healthcare finance; and public education, health promotion and disease prevention. “What impact are these interventions having?” is a question frequently asked but less frequently funded. Fortunately, provision was made in the PHCR project to address the “impact” question. PHCR developed a set of six tools to monitor progress and evaluate results. Three of these tools are facility-based and are designed to assess changes through a pre-test and post-test methodology at 164 primary healthcare facilities and their referral facilities.
