Climate change has a negative impact on the water resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan. If we take into account that approximately 70 percent of the water resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan are formed at the expense of transboundary rivers, then the situation becomes even more complicated. According to the generally accepted hydrogeological zoning scheme of the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Ganikh-Ayrichay artesian basin is a class II artesian basin, included in the composition of the Kura basin. Ganikh-Ayrichay water valley is one of the underground water deposits of Azerbaijan, distinguished by its fresh water resources. Thus, since 2010, 5 m³ of fresh water per second has been transported from this field to Baku through the water pipeline. In recent years, climate change has had a negative impact on the water resources formed in the Ganikh-Ayrichay foothill plain. Observations on the regime of underground water show that the level and consumption of water in pressurized water wells has decreased. |
