Many flowing wells have been abandoned in the Ararat Valley in Armenia. Abandoned wells create environmental hazards (such as pathways for contamination from the land surface to reach the aquifer if well casing deteriorates in nonflowing wells) and continued depletion of the artesian aquifer from flowing wells.

The growth of aquaculture to raise trout, sturgeon and other cold-water fish has increased withdrawals of critical groundwater in the Ararat Basin of Armenia. The USGS is working with partners, including USAID, to develop scientific tools for water-resource managers to understand and predict consequences of management decisions in Armenia.
