Abstract:
In September 2010, USAID-Caucasus launched a four-year program entitled: “Integrated Natural Resources Management in Watersheds of Georgia” (INRMW-Georgia), implemented within the framework of an umbrella program “Global Water for Sustainability” (GLOWS) by a consortium of international and national organizations under the leadership of Florida International University (FIU), in partnership with CARE International, Winrock International (WI), UNESCO-IHE, and the Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN). Within the INRMW framework, among various planned activities, it is envisaged to develop Water Safety Plans (WSPs) for six cities (Akhmeta, Telavi, Dedoplistskaro, Oni, Ambrolauri and Senaki) in the pilot watershed areas of the Rioni and Alazani-Iori river basins. To accomplish this task, a local WSP team was established with support of UNESCO-IHE. In accordance with the program work plan, the work was divided into two stages. During the first stage, WSPs were to be developed for four cities (Akhmeta, Telavi, Oni, and Ambrolauri) of the upper pilot watershed areas of the Alazani-Iori and Rioni Basins. During the second stage WSPs were to be developed for urban areas (Dedoplistskaro, Senaki) in the lower protions of pilot watershed areas. Assessments of water supply systems are baseline studies for WSPs that include a detailed description of centralized water supply systems, and identification of existing and potential hazards, hazardous events/situations/hazard sources and an assessment of their risks.
