|a To identify the problems of the selected communities and villages within the framework of the
INRMW program, a working meeting was held in Ambrolauri. Community trustees, community
unions, and village representatives participated in the meeting. Participants completed
evaluation score cards containing potential watershed issues listed with maximum attainable
scores assigned per specially-elaborated environmental and socioeconomic criteria: 1. Negative
impact on village health; 2. Negative impacts on the environment of the targeted villages and
8
their surroundings; 3. Negative socioeconomic conditions of the local population. Based on the
scores, three priority problems were identified at the community level.
The number one priority for all communities was drinking water quality and availability caused
by an absent or poor water supply system, not by a shortage of resources or by their bad
quality. Pollution of surface water and soil related to illegal landfills was also rated very
important. Almost all communities identified natural catastrophes such as mudflows,
landslides, and floods related to the nature of the rivers and the runoff that has been
accumulating in the riverbeds and gorges for a long period of time as a priority. |
