LAKE GOSH Gosh is a mountainous and wooded lake in Tavush region of the Republic of Armenia. It is located 2.2km southwest of Gosh village.

Geography It was formed as a result of landslide processes. The level of the lake was 0,008 km2, the length was 100m and the width was 80m. The maximum depth was 8m. The volume of water was 1500m3. The data have been changed, after the level was drained for the cleaning purpose, and the new measurements have not been done yet. The lake is fed by the springs and atmospheric precipitation. The temperature of the water on the surface reaches up to 14 °C.

Destruction of the Lake According to the facts, which were presented by Hetq.am News Agency, at the beginning of April, 2017 the “Vendor” company brought heavy equipment to the Dilijan National Park. They started digging the lake and the surrounding area as well as widening and leveling the ground road, cutting and damaging a lot of trees. Because of that work the surface of the lake dropped some meters, the supply of water was polluted and the process of the bog started. About 2-meter high mud accumulation was accumulated along the full length of the bank. The population of lobsters in the lake was almost destroyed. The Ministry of Environment gave an official elucidation that a contract had been signed, which gave the right to the “Vendor” company to build a rest area. According to that contract the “Vendor” company must regulate and clean dirt and dry branches in the area. They also must not damage the lake’s ecosystem and endemic state.

THE PRESENT STATE OF THE LAKE Gosh has already been cleaned and returned to life, there is a large number of frogs, lobsters and small fish. In this area we can see various monuments, which are not made by human hands, such as rock formations, mineral springs, etc.
