Azerbaijan’s Azersu OJSC is implementing a new project in the field of sustainable water supply in the city of Shusha.
According to OJSC, after the liberation of Shusha, measures were immediately taken to ensure the city’s water supply and its vital facilities. Work began after that on the reconstruction of the city's water supply system.
At the first stage of the project to ensure sustainable water supply to Shusha, two reservoirs with a capacity of 500 cubic meters each will be built on the territory of the city, and a six-kilometer section of the inner-city network will be reconstructed.
In accordance with the General Plan, at the next stage of the project, the drinking water and sewerage networks of the city will be completely reconstructed, and a wastewater treatment plant will be built.
Taking into account the location of the population and the prospects for the development of tourism in the future in the city of Shusha, it is planned to use the Zarysly river as an alternative source of water. In this regard, research and design work has begun at the Sukanal Research and Design Institute of Azersu OJSC.
According to the initial assessment, a water intake and a reservoir will be built in the Zarysly river bed, and water will be supplied to Shusha through a pumping station. Besides, adjustment work was carried out on the intra-city network.
