Human Dynamics KG The Environmental Protection of International River Basins (EPIRB) project aims to improve the quality of water in transboundary river basins in the wider Black Sea region and Belarus, including Armenia. One of the specific objectives is to improve technical capacities by developing river basin management plans (RBMPs) in selected pilot river basins, according to the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). One of the selected pilot basins is the Akhuryan basin management area, which includes the Akhuryan River basin, located in the western part of the Republic of Armenia, and the Metsamor River basin, which is adjacent to the Akhuryan River basin. 2 Good water status The Water Framework Directive is achieved when pollution is and river basin management plans controlled and there is One of the requirements of the WFD is the achievement and sufficient flow for ecosystems preservation of good water status by managing waters in natural to function and survive. units — that is, in river basins. River basin planning follows a structured approach: finding out facts, deciding on necessary actions, making a management plan, and putting the plan into practice. An important first step is to identify significant water management issues so that appropriate solutions and measures can be developed. The impacts of human activities Human activities can lead to serious problems in terms of both water quality and quantity.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.
