Description :	This project is designed to put the traditional water supply systems in the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhichevan into operation again, giving 1,500 households access to clean drinking water. The installations are administered by village associations, and the local inhabitants will be involved in the renovation work in the underground tunnel systems known as "Chaheriz". The project not only contributes to the rehabilitation of vital infrastructure but also creates some employment. The Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic in the Caucasus mountains officially belongs to Azerbaijan, but is completely separated geographically from the mother country as it is surrounded by Armenia, Azerbaijan's neighbour. During the Nagorno Karabach war, Armenia set up a blockade around the exclave, which is now causing problems at many levels.
