Abstract:
The present report was developed within the framework of the program “Integrated management of natural resources in watersheds of Georgia” (INRMW), implemented by a group of the following partners:  Florida International University (FIU)  UNESCO Instituted of Hydrological Education (UNESCO-IHE)  CARE International  Winrock International  Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN) The geography of the program covers watersheds of Georgia: the Rioni River basin in West Georgia, and the Lori River and Alazani River basins in East Georgia. The following pilot watershed areas were selected for the implementation of the pilot program:  Upper Rioni pilot watershed area – Municipalities of Oni and Ambrolauri  Lower Rioni Pilot Watershed areas - Municipalities of Khobi and Senaki.  Upper Alazani pilot watershed area – Municipalities of Akhmeta and Telavi;  Lower Alazani-Iori pilot watershed area - municipality of Dedoplistskaro. Within the framework of the program, it’s envisaged to assess the pilot watershed areas/municipalities in respect of their vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters; also, to develop a plan of corresponding mitigation and adaptation measures. This report provides the assessment of Upper Alazani pilot watershed area (Akhmeta and Telavi municiaplities) in terms of vulnerability and risks of natural disasters. The plan of activities that have to be implemented for climate change and natural disaster mitigation and adaptation is provided based on the performed assessment.
