4.3.3         Water use efficiency and the economy

Water is not only a vital resource for the environment and freshwater ecosystems, it also plays a significant role in national economies. For instance, without water input, it would not be possible to sustain agricultural activities in parts of countries where irrigation is an inevitable practice for tackling water deficits. Similarly, water is also used for electricity generation (both in hydropower and cooling). Water supply is also crucial to aquaculture, which is one of the major economic sectors in Belarus and Armenia.

    The statement that "aquaculture is one of the major economic sectors in Belarus" is totally wrong.

    Just in case, the major economic sectors for Belarus are Manufacturing, Wholesale and retail trade, Transportation, Information and communication, which create more than 40% of GDP.
