The fatal rock avalanche type landslide occurred in the northern part of village Nergeeti (Imereti region) on February 7, 2024, which destroyed private houses, damaged a road, water supply, gas pipelines and different infrastructure objects, moreover, 9 persons lost their lives. study area is located Khanistskali river valley tectonically represents frontal Adjara-Trialeti fold-and-thrust Belt. Here, it represented data based detailed field investigation conducted to characterize body...

Landslides pose a significant threat to human lives and infrastructure in various regions worldwide. To mitigate the risks associated with these geological hazards, deployment of monitoring systems is crucial. This study presents comparative analysis systems, specifically tilt-meters, piezometric sensors, GPS, UAV employed landslide-prone area. The objective assess their effectiveness detecting landslide event Libani str. (Tbilisi city, Georgia).The such as plays pivotal role risk...

During 13-14 June 2015 heavy rainfall in the Riv. Vere basin area and its tributaries caused a drastic increase water level triggered/activated large-scale landslide debrisflow events. This put Tskneti-Samadlo Tsnketi-Akhal- daba motorways out of order. Residential buildings miscellaneous infrastructural facilities, structures Tbilisi Zoo located at low elevations Gorge were significantly damaged or/and totally destroyed. 23 persons died during disaster. study presents results on an analysis...

River Tergi, Aragvi and Asa-Arghuni, which occupy significant area of mountainous region central Caucasus, by its geographic location, strategic meaning, peculiarities natural landscape infrastructural objects (Trans-Caucasian highway, gas pipeline, water supply the capital, Gudauri ski-mountainous complex) minerals, historic-ethnographic monuments, opportunities for development tourism mountaineering, where more important engineering projects are being planned; all above give perspective...

Abstract Geological hazards always cause a threat to the important part of population, make complicated their engineering‐agricultural activities and damage infrastructure facilities. In 21 st century, protection population safe operation objects became significant social‐economic geo‐ecologic problem. These problems gain even more actuality for mountainous countries, when on overall backdrop climate change earthquake activation, within pressing conditions wide‐scale human activities,...

Kakheti Region, which occupies 17.5% of Georgia's territory, one the leading places in coun- try's economic development, especially field agriculture according to its natural landscape conditions. At same time, region is most complicated area Georgia and general, within Caucasus by development scales mudflow phenomena, recurrence rate, prejudice risk danger. More than a half territory under threat highest high category. According historical reports even past processes were extensively...

Hundreds of settlements, agricultural lands, roads, oil and gas pipelines’ routes, towers high voltage transmission lines, hydro-technical-meliorative objects, mountain resorts, etc. are periodically experiencing strong influence landslide-gravitational debris flow/mudflow processes (often with catastrophic results). Almost all landscape-geographic zones—from Black Sea coastal region, to mountainous-nival, where geo-ecological situation is severely complicated, located in dangerous area...

This scientific exploration focuses on advancing landslide monitoring in the capital city of Tbilisi, Georgia and Imereti Region village Gomi. By combining geotechnical systems, including tiltmeters piezometers, with cutting-edge geospatial technologies such as digital elevation model (DEM) aerial photography, our study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding dynamics these diverse landscapes. The integration piezometers facilitates real-time ground movements pore pressure changes,...

Groundwater assessment can be considered a base and effective management tool to protect groundwater resources. Fresh is multi-component system that different for each country depends on existing anthropogenic pressures or ongoing natural processes. However, the key necessary all countries have quantitative qualitative data. These data are essential resource management. Our goal review main issues reflect current status of fresh in Georgia future challenges must gradually overcome. Although...

The capital of Georgia—Tbilisi has a very convenient location and is node the transit corridor. Along with natural-geological conditions, its complexity due to rapid demographic growth city in highly “sensitive” area geological environment pressure high engineering agricultural activities. In Tbilisi, it observed almost all types hazards, including landslide-gravitational, suffosion, debris/mudflows, river bank erosion inundation were caused by groundwater. These hazards cause damages...

<p>Georgia is among the countries which have fresh groundwater distinguished for significant resources and drinking qualities of naturally high quality. Hydrogeological exploration monitoring works purpose identification, study protection were not conducted in period 1990–2013. Considering long-term termination centralized researches intensively increasing anthropogenic pressures on environment water particular, assessment becomes a very pressing issue. For this...

Natural calamities become more topical in the beginning of XXI century, as pressure them on human environment becomes much heavier. The background global climate change processes immeasurably increases risk uncontrollable natural catastrophes. Among multi-spectral geological Georgia, most impressive phenomena are landslides and debris/mudflows, washing out marine coasts river banks within limits settlements. According to special research data, landslide, mudflow, bank erosion reactivation...

As it is known fresh water represents conditioned factor for human body’s life. That’s why the superiority of drinking recognized as priority according to international declarations. World experiencing deficit quality water. Natural Disasters caused by pollution ground also very painful and acute, because needed more time, material financial means liquidation their results, what most important practically is, impossible renew initial natural conditions completely. All these that rational use...

<p>As in the rest of world, issues global climate change impact and anthropogenic pressure on fresh drinking groundwater resources are very relevant Georgia. This is especially important for Georgia, as this country rich resources, but at same time there many challenges terms sustainable management resource.</p><p>Even before trends became obvious, Georgia paid significant attention to research. Before early 1990’s, continuous...
