Jerusalem, 7 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) -- Baku (AZERTAC) Advanced water management and water metering technology in Azerbaijan has been installed and put into operation for the first time in the Agstafa district.

This was reported to AZERTAC by the Azerbaijan State Water Resources Agency (ADSEA).

The installed system covers 668 hectares of agricultural land and serves the water supply of the villages of Ashagi Goyjali, Yenigün and Khatai.
