Seven of the 12 sub-artesian wells to be drilled in Agstafa region, will provide Gazakh region and surrounding villages with sustainable drinking water. A 4-kilometre section of a 9-kilometre main water pipeline has been laid from the spring to Gazakh.

More than 60 percent of the construction of a 10,000 cubic meter reservoir to provide the region with drinking water has already been completed. Of the 106 kilometer water distribution network that will be built in Gazakh, 80 km is already ready.
