In Armenia, on average 30 % of total freshwater abstraction is lost in the water transport system. During recent years, the percentage of total abstracted water that is lost during transport has increased from 758.9 million m³ in 2000 to 825.4 million m³ in 2017. Taking into account the severe water stress conditions in Armenia (WEI 61.4 % in 2017), the low efficiency of its conveyance system exacerbates water scarcity in the country. The average annual total freshwater use was around 2 550 million m³ in 2000, decreasing substantially to 2 040 million m³ in 2017. Considering the severe water stress conditions across the country, the current level of water abstraction and water use – particularly by the agricultural sector – has already exacerbated environmental problems.
