|a This report is a thorough assessment of the Lower Alazani-Iori Pilot Watershed Area. Based on
the general scope of work developed for detailed watershed studies, national experts hired
under the INRMW program conducted field studies and obtained information from relevant
institutions, following which, the data was compiled and analyzed. Community concerns and
local knowledge were incorporated into the detailed assessments. Thematic maps of geoinformative
systems, which provide information on natural resources and their use from an
environmental protection point of view, were developed for lower courses of the Alazani and
Iori rivers.
A hydrological model (WEAP) tested for pilot territories used global and regional climate
models to analyze surface water flow for the Alazani River and its main tributaries and include
forecasted climate change for the next 50 years.
During all of the studies, priority issues were identified, assessed and validated, and
recommendations for interventions were developed.
Identification of priority watershed issues was carried out in three phases: The initial phase was
identification and prioritization of issues by representatives of targeted communities and local
authorities; the second phase was study and identification of priority issues by a group of
Georgian experts hired under the INRMW program; the final phase merged the issues identified
by both groups into one list which was validated by local stakeholders. |
