Note: AMD = Armenian drams.

One critical function of the ASHMS is with respect to forecasting. This is critical for water management both in the short term (in the case of flooding or droughts) and in the longer term (for seasonal agriculture planning, for example). The current capacity of forecasts, which is very much dependent on the quality of the monitoring, is given in table 4.3.
