The decrease of run-off is predicted for two major rivers of eastern Georgia, the Iori/Gabirri and Ala-zani/Ganyh, with potential impact on irrigated agriculture and drinking water supply. Groundwater recharge is also influenced by reduced surface water flow. The influence of reduced run-off, as well as decreased quality of both surface water and groundwater in the Kura basin, is assessed as very negative. In the western part of the country, the impact of reduced groundwater recharge is predicted to be very negative.
