BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 18. Works valued at
87.8 million manat ($51.6 million) will be carried out under the
second stage of the Bargushadchay reservoir project in
Azerbaijan.
According to information published on the Unified Internet
Portal of Public Procurement, within the mentioned stage of the
reservoir's construction, main and distribution pipelines (part 1)
for supplying irrigation water to farms will be built.
The Directorate of Construction Objects under the Azerbaijan
State Water Resources Agency has launched relevant measures.
Thus, the agency is currently identifying the company that will
carry out the said work.
At the same time, the agency projected that the aforementioned
work will cost 87.8 million manat ($51.6 million).
At the end of last year, the Directorate of Construction Objects
reached an agreement with the Azerbaijan branch of Sistem Elektro
Mekanik Tesisler Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi on the
construction of the Bargushadchay reservoir.
The company’s proposed amount was 51.76 million manat ($30.4
million).
In 2022, the location of the Bargushadchay reservoir was
proposed to be located above Gubadli city - near Bakhtiyarli
village- as the best option, taking into account the topographic
and complex geological conditions.
With a total water capacity of 67 million cubic meters, the
reservoir will provide irrigation water to 12,000 hectares in the
Gubadli district and supply 10 cubic meters of water per second to
the main canal receiving water from the Giz Galasi hydro-junction
through either an open channel or a pressure pipeline. If water is
supplied from the reservoir through a pressure pipeline, three
hydropower plants with a total capacity of 30 megawatts can be
installed.
