BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 11. Azerbaijan
intends to construct 28 hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) in the
Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur regions, Trend reports.
This initiative is part of the“National Strategy for the
Efficient Use of Water Resources,” approved by President Ilham
Aliyev.
The strategy outlines measures to make the most of water and
hydropower in these economic regions by rolling out "smart water
supply" systems. As part of the grand scheme, 28 HPPs will be
built, the surface water hydroelectric potential will be evaluated,
and a compact power plant will be rolled out to back these
hydroelectric setups. The strategy also keeps an eye out for golden
opportunities in health, coastal, and water tourism.
Moreover, these upgrades will quench the thirst for drinking
water, lend a helping hand to agriculture's irrigation demands, and
pave the way for smart water usage through interbasin transfers.
This development will open the floodgates for irrigation water to
over 300,000 hectares of land in these regions, giving agricultural
productivity and sustainability a leg up.
