Ambassador Pettit Visits the Irrigation System in Lopatna.

On May 21, 2015 Ambassador Pettit was in Lopatna to inspect a new pumping station and irrigation system financed by the U.S. Government through the MCC-Compact. He was impressed by the many productive farmers with whom he spoke, the beautiful orchards he saw and, of course, the state-of-the-art irrigation system. He told the farmers and the members of the Water Users Association who were attending their annual conference there that he was convinced that by using modern irrigation systems, they will be able to achieve impressive results!
