YSU researcher identifies biodiversity loss in several Armenian rivers and proposes solutions for ecosystem restoration The impact of mining, domestic wastewater, and the improper management of water resources have led to the pollution of the Akhtala, Kavart, Karchevan, and Getar rivers, resulting in the complete loss of aquatic biodiversity in these rivers. This issue has been documented by Liana Margaryan, Senior Researcher at Yerevan State University, who, along with her research team, has studied the water-chemical regimes and ecological conditions of more than 30 rivers across the country. Currently, the researcher’s work focuses on the self-purification capacity of rivers in Armenia and the impact of anthropogenic pressures on this ability. The research aims to propose scientifically grounded solutions for the restoration of ecosystems damaged by human activity in these rivers.
