As Armenia is experiencing high water stress conditions, reducing water losses by a target of 50 % in public water supply to urban areas and agriculture /aquaculture may significantly reduce the water stress levels in the country. With financial support from the European Investment Bank, the Armenian government is implementing the Yerevan Water Supply Improvement Project to improve the water supply system in Yerevan (EBRD, 2016). However, water losses in the network are still incredibly high and continuously increasing. For instance, around 66 % of the country’s total water supply was lost in 2000, but losses increased to 79 % in 2018. High – and steadily increasing – rates of water losses in the transport system look unsustainable in the long term in Armenia.
