Acquaintance with the “Hakarichay” Reservoir Project

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev got acquainted with the “Hakarichay” reservoir project in the Lachin district on 26 June.

The length of the Hakari River, which originates in the Lachin district, is 113 kilometers, and the average annual water consumption is about 10.7 cubic meters per second. By building a reservoir with a capacity of about 90 million cubic meters on the Hakari River, it is possible to deliver clean and genetically useful water to Sabirabad by a 254-kilometer highway.

The Hakarichay reservoir was intended for the collection of drinking water. The planned construction of pumping stations on the highway is expected to supply water to seven districts located in a relatively elevated area.
