1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report comprises a summary of the groundwater chemical survey which took place in October 2018 in the Alazani-Iori and Khrami-Debed Basin Districts of Georgia. In total, 39 water points had preliminarily been selected for the survey. During the research period, several new wells were added to these sites. 33 of these sites were considered suitable and were assessed in more detail. Samples were taken from 20 sites and the samples analyzed in the NEA laboratory on a comprehensive number of chemical substances and indicators. The groundwater chemical survey 2018 covered the following activities:  Development of the survey manual;

 Field survey conducted by NEA Department of Geology and Department for Environmental Pol- lution Monitoring (10-15 October 2018);  Laboratory analyses incl. laboratory reports by the NEA laboratory;  Interpretation of the results (Report of the performed hydrogeological preliminary field works under the project „EUWI+“) by the NEA Department of Geology;  Preparation of this comprehensive groundwater survey report 2018. The newly gathered data for a comprehensive set of parameters will act as gap filling and as a kind of screening (surveillance monitoring) contributing to the characterisation of groundwater bodies and the risk and status assessment. All results and documents which were elaborated under this contract are public and accessible at the EUWI+ project website (www.euwipluseast.eu).

2 INTRODUCTION

The “European Union Water Initiative Plus for Eastern Partnership (EaP) Countries (EUWI+)” involves six eastern neighbors of the EU: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The EUWI+ project addresses existing challenges in both development and implementation of efficient management of water resources. It specifically supports the EaP countries to move towards the ap- proximation to EU acquits in the field of water management as identified by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) are the planning tools that give the overall orientation of water management in the River Basin District and the objectives to be reached, and the priorities in the actions to be developed. Monitoring data are an important basis for water management, for risk, status and trend assessment. A strong monitoring system is critical in prioritising investment and cre- ating a cost effective management system. Hence, it is crucial that monitoring data are reliable (of high quality) to avoid implementing wrong and potentially costly measures. As specified under activity 2.3.4 of EUWI+, chemicals surveys are to be carried out to enable the development and implementation of the RBMPs. The monitoring data gathered under this activity will be used for the validation of the newly delineated groundwater bodies in the Alazani-Iori and Khrami- Debed RBDs, the validation of the monitoring design and the validation of the pressure and impact assessment. Furthermore, the gathered data build a basis for the risk, status and trend assessment and were used for selecting additional wells to be included in NEA’s groundwater monitoring network. This survey was intended to contribute to gap filling of monitoring data for the newly delineated groundwater bodies. It was also designed in such a way that it should also function as a screening survey (or surveillance monitoring) by analyzing a list of substances at monitoring stations which are not (yet) part of NEA’s groundwater monitoring network. The Umweltbundesamt issued a service contract with NEA for the analyses of the groundwater samples. Sampling was done by the NEA Department of Geology and Department for Environmental Pol- lution Monitoring. Before the survey, on 8 October 2018, a groundwater expert of Umweltbundesamt held a training ses- sion on groundwater sampling. The training consisted of a theoretical part followed by practical exer- cises with NEA’s equipment at a well. The Umweltbundesamt expert then accompanied the NEA team throughout the first day of the survey to support them in adopting state-of-the-art sampling practices, including documentation. Staff members of the contractor for groundwater body delineation, the Geor- gian Geothermal Association+, attended the training. The head of the contractor also participated in the first day of the survey.

3 GROUNDWATER SURVEY 2018

The report compiles the extensive activities and the results of the groundwater survey 2018 which are as follows:  In preparation to the sampling training and the survey, responsibilities and sampling equipment were discussed and written down in the 2018 survey manual.  NEA had preliminarily selected 39 water points for the survey. During the research period, several new wells were added to these sites. 33 of these sites were considered suitable and were assessed in more detail (29 in the Alazani-Iori RBD, 4 in the Khrami-Debed RBD), out of which 20 were sampled (16 in the Alazani-Iori RBD, 4 in the Khrami-Debed RBD; see Annex). The list of parameters was selected, based on the available capacities of the NEA laboratory and the pertinence of potential pollutants.  The laboratory of NEA was contracted for the chemical analyzes of the groundwater samples.  The field survey was conducted by the NEA Department of Geology and Department for Envi- ronmental Pollution Monitoring in the period of 10-15 October 2018. NEA experts collected samples, measured field parameters, and filled out sampling protocols.  The collected samples were handed over to the NEA laboratory (see Annex) and analysed for a list of chemical substances (see Annex).  The NEA Department of Geology interpreted the analysis reports by the NEA laboratory.

4 FIELD ROUTE IN THE KAKHETI REGION (ALAZANI-IORI RIVER BASIN DISTRICT)

Preliminary field work in Kakheti region was carried out from 10 to 13 October, 2018. 29 water points were examined and 16 samples were tested for laboratory analysis in Gurjaani, Telavi, Kvareli, Lagodekhi, Akhmeta and Sagarejo municipalities. The following water parameters were defined on the field: Water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, total hardness, nitrite, nitrate and ammonium ions content. According to the hydrogeological zoning of Georgia, wells are placed within the artesian basin of the Alazani and artesian basin of Iori-Shiraki. The Alazani artesian basin’s characterized by a large area of distribution among the artesian basins spread throughout Georgia, with abundant water supply and special importance for the country. It’s one of the hydrogeological structures that spread in the trans- boundary zone. According to the existing literature, by the 1965, 573 searching and exploration wells had been drilled in the basin. Within this period the studies were carrying out about groundwater regime, conducted in various districts of the hydrogeological test work, which determined the basis of the calculation of hydrogeological Settings and prepared Alazani artesian basin hydrological thematic maps. Similar researches were conducted on the territory of the Iori-Shiraki artesian Basin. As for the latest material, in the framework of the renewed hydrogeological monitoring, since 2013, LEPL Na- tional Environmental Agency of Geology Department has been establishing about the quantitative and qualitative parameters of fresh groundwater. There are 22 monitoring wells in the Alazani Artesian Basin, and in the Iori-Shiraki Artesian Basin - 6 monitoring wells. As noted above, in the framework of the "EUWI+" project, 29 water points were examined in the field of the Alazani-Iori basin. Below is the location of the wells with reference to the administrative and hydrogeological properties (Table №4) and data on the water characteristic parameters defined in field conditions (Table №5).

5 FIELD ROUTE IN THE KVEMO KARTLI REGION (KHRAMI-DEBEDA RIVER BASIN DISTRICT)

On October 13-14 2018 field works were carried out in Kvemo Kartli region - Bolnisi, Dmanisi and Marneuli municipalities. 4 samples were taken for laboratory analysis. Wells are located in rivers basins of Khrami, Poladauri and Mashavera. According to the Hydrogeological Zoning Scheme, they belong to Marneuli-Gardabani Artesian basin and Javakheti East slope fractured groundwater district area. The location of the wells and the parameters specified in the field conditions are presented in the tables (Table №6, №7). The field route was also carried out by the village Shulaveri, village Tsereteli and village in the neighborhood of Baitalo River due to the selection of groundwater wells in the river basin of Debeda. It should be noted that the population individually consumes the filters of the rivers Khrami and Debeda (≈5-6 m. from the ground surface) and uses as drinking water.

6 SUMMARY OF SURVEY RESULTS

33 water points were tested and 20 samples were taken for laboratory analyses in Alazani-Iori and Khrami-Debeda river basins. The samples will be analyzed by LEPL National Environmental Agency for atmospheric air, water and soil analysis laboratory (Annex - Protocol of groundwater sampling - 20 pages). Analysis of water samples involves determination of major ions, heavy metals and pesticides. Some exceedances of some parameters for which there are maximum permissible concentrations on Approval of Technical Regulations for Protection of Drinking Water Pollution in Georgia (manganese at 5 sites, sodium at 1, sulphate at 4, calcium at 3, and total mineralization at 1 water point). None of the analysed pesticides were detected in any of the sampled wells. Based on the preliminary field work, results of laboratory analysis and existing monitoring wells, new wells will be selected for the improvement of the fresh groundwater network.

~~3 PREPARATION FOR FIELD TRIP~~

Careful planning and preparation for groundwater sampling campaigns is a matter of quality assurance. It saves time, helps reducing the number of problems - which commonly occur during fieldwork - and significantly contributes to raising the quality and reliability of the analysed data. Thorough preparation in the office and laboratory prior to sample collection is important. The contract laboratory will provide field measuring devices, sampling containers, required filtration units and acids for stabilisation. It is important to agree on the timing of handing over of sampling equipment in the beginning and to agree on a schedule for handing over of filled bottles for laboratory analyses.

~~3.1 Checklist of logistics~~

~~4 SAMPLING~~

~~4.1 Well purging~~

The stagnant water in a well is quite different (physically and chemically) to the water in the surrounding aquifer. Therefore it is necessary to purge each well before sampling of representative water samples can be done. The purging of a well abstracts the stagnant water and allows the groundwater from the surrounding aquifer to flow into the well casing. The amount of the water that needs to be abstracted before it can be guaranteed that the sampled water is representative of the water in the surrounding aquifer depends on the height of the water column in the well and the diameter of the well casing. The pumping rate is very much depending on the hydraulic properties of the aquifer. There are two options to assess the amount of groundwater that should be purged before taking samples: - Option 1: Purge the well until the measurements of pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen and temperature for the abstracted water stabilize. Permissible fluctuation ranges are: pH-value (±0.05), electrical conductivity (± 0.1 or 1% of the final value), oxygen concentration (± 0.1 mg/l) and temperature (±0.1K)

- Option 2: Purge a minimum of 1.5 times of the volume of the circular cylinder in the well. The volume of the purged water can be roughly calculated by the following formula: 2 o V = n dBL IF, where: π . V – volume (m³) 4 . dBL – diameter of the borehole (m) . lF – Length of the filter filled with water (m). . n – Factor (recommendation: n > 1.5) To ensure that the sample is representative according to the quality criterion and the hydraulic criteria, the pumping time should be at least 10 minutes. When purging the well, the drawdown of the water level is to be kept as low as possible because a cone of depression which might develop can change flow and mixing conditions in the vicinity of the measurement point. Usual flow rates range from 0.1 to 1 liter per second. At lower flow rate, it must be assumed that the groundwater is heated by the sampling devices.

~~4.2 Using a pump~~

When using a pump for abstracting water, please take regard of the following steps and remarks: 1. Prior to inserting the pump into the well, connect the pump to the required length of tubing. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) tube is recommended as it is softer and easier to connect to the pump. 2. Lower the pump into the well so that pump intake is submerged. Avoid placing the pump too close to the bottom of the well to avoid ingress of silt or other sediments. 3. Connect the pump’s negative alligator clamp securely to the negative terminal on your power supply, and then connect the positive pump clamp to the positive terminal. 4. The pump will start immediately. The pump can run continuously when submerged. 5. When pumping is complete, remove the pump from the well. When removed, hold the pump in upright position to drain all water from the unit. 6. Clean the pump after you are finished with collecting groundwater samples with clean water.

~~EUWI+4EaP – Manual for Groundwater Survey – Georgia / Survey period: 10–15 October 2018 11~~

Remarks: If a vehicle battery is used, it is important that the vehicle is started and runs for 2 minutes every 30 minutes in order to maintain the charge in the vehicle’s battery. Failure to do this may result in damage to the battery and inability to start the vehicle. Running the vehicle while the pump is running does not damage the pump. Do not run dry the pump! This will damage the motor. Do not allow water to freeze inside the pump! Frozen water will expand and damage the unit.

~~4.3 Using field measurement equipment~~

At the beginning of a sampling campaign, the on-site field measurement devices should be calibrated. The calibration of measuring devices for electrical conductivity (EC), pH, temperature (T), and total dissolved solids (TDS) is done by using standard solutions provided in instrument field kits. Every day, measure your standard solutions with your field measurement devices and write down the measured values. This helps you to see whether there is a drift in the measurements and whether calibration is needed. The on-site field measurement parameters should be measured following the proper purging of wells and prior to collecting samples to be shipped to the laboratory All on-site field data and observations have to be entered in the Groundwater Sampling Protocol and also recorded in a field book.

~~4.4 Taking samples~~

The purpose for groundwater sampling is to obtain data that most accurately reflect the water quality conditions within the aquifer. Sampling takes place after purging the well and after field measurements were taken. Samples can be taken with stainless steel bailer or by pump sampling. The material of the sample container, any necessary treatment of samples (e.g. filtration and stabilisation) depends on the parameters that are going to be analysed in the laboratory. The appropriate sampling containers are provided by the laboratory as well as the filtration units and the preservation substances.

~~4.5 Sample labelling~~

Samples shall be labelled in such a way that they are readily identifiable at all times. Labels must be durable and need to resist moisture. The ink has to be non-water soluble. Most samples are preserved in ice and wet surrounding. Careful packaging of samples is important, as vibration of sample containers during transport may cause container labelling to rub off or become illegible. Labelling on samples should contain as much information as practical. Labels may contain:

~~EUWI+4EaP – Manual for Groundwater Survey – Georgia / Survey period: 10–15 October 2018 12~~

- unique identifying code - date and time of sampling - location and name of sampling site (including GPS coordinates if available) - project number - name of sample collector - information about container pre-treatment, filtration and added sample preservatives - observations on other factors, which may affect the analysis method or results. Sample labels must specify a clear and unique identifying code, which can be used to cross-reference to the location of monitoring and time of sampling.

~~4.6 Transport and storage~~

Samples should be transported to the laboratory every day. In practice, the remote location of sampling points from laboratories makes this difficult. Therefore, samples should be kept in coolers and transported to the lab every two days. Samples, which require low temperatures of storage, should be placed on ice immediately. It is vital that all procedures regarding sample transportation and storage are followed. This will ensure that sample condition remains mostly unaltered and suitable for laboratory analysis. During transportation, contamination of samples can easily occur due to container cross-contamination, packaging material, chilling products or reserve gasoline cans. During storage, sample degradation can occur due to lack of appropriate preservation, inappropriate storage conditions, excessive storage time, and sample cross-contamination.

~~4.7 Health and safety~~

Fieldwork should be conducted in such a way as to protect the health and safety of field personnel. Each team member has the authority and responsibility to stop operations should unsafe conditions present or develop. All groundwater monitoring personnel should perform their field activities in a safe manner and undertake actions to remove, reduce or control risk. Filed personnel should carry a safety kit, as well as information on emergency procedure and location of nearest medical facility. Using the appropriate safety equipment will reduce risk in the process of sampling. Safety equipment can increase prevention or provide assistance in case of an incident. A number of risks should be considered during fieldwork. The fieldwork team should study the potential risks and be prepared to control them, to ensure work safety in field conditions. During sampling, typical risks include: - vehicle breakdown or accident, bogging in wet conditions; - exposure to hazardous substances, such as decontamination chemicals, toxic products formed during sample preparation or stabilisation (e.g. acidification), toxic gases (e.g. hydrogen sulphide), bacteria in the wellhead or groundwater; - risks, related to temperature exposure, e.g. sunburn and heatstroke; - risks, related to working in, over, or close to water; - poisonous animals (spiders, snakes) and plants. When receiving containers and preservatives from the laboratory, they should be checked for leaks. Many preservatives can burn the eyes and skin, and they must be handled carefully. Sample container labels should include information on the type of preservative used, if any.

~~EUWI+4EaP – Manual for Groundwater Survey – Georgia / Survey period: 10–15 October 2018 13~~

~~5 FINISHING THE SURVEY~~

At the end of the survey, the sampling team has to hand the samples over to the responsible laboratory. This hand-over needs to be duly confirmed with the hand-over protocol included in this manual. The responsibilities of the groundwater sampling team include the thorough cleaning and maintenance of the sampling equipment. This is necessary to ensure that there is no cross-contamination between sampling tours, and to ensure that all required equipment will be available and functional at the time of the next sampling tour. The groundwater team further needs to write a survey report. This report serves to bring all information about the sampling tour together in written form; this will allow the necessary analyses and is important to make sure that no collected information is lost. The survey report will be an expanded version of the present survey manual. It needs to include de- tailed information about the survey including:  information on the sampled sites (the monitoring site passports as updated during the survey);  the completed sampling protocols for each groundwater sample (as included in this manual);  the completed hand-over protocols for each groundwater sample;  photo documentation of each sampling site (it would be good if the sampling team could take several photos from each site, also with the surroundings and with the sampling experts them- selves. This would be important for the identification of refurbishment needs and for the future analyses of anthropogenic pressures. It also helps to keep track of how up-to-date the pictures are.);  an overview of the sampling results, including both field parameters and the results of the laboratory analysis for each groundwater sample;  the completed metadata forms in English and Georgian language as attached separately for the newly produced datasets; o E4E_metadata_form_Georgia-EN o E4E_DM_5-metadata_form_Georgia-GE  information on the sampling team, particularly if there were any changes from the initial plans;  a summary protocol of the survey which should list the activities, the person involved, the travel and the overnight stays during the survey (see below). Please also keep the receipts for the overnight stays.

The survey report needs to be provided in English language. For NEA’s knowledge management it might also be useful to provide the report, and in particular the parts added after the survey, in Geor- gian language.

~~FIELD ROUTE IN KAKHETI REGION (ALAZANI-IORI RIVER BASINS)~~

Preliminary field work in Kakheti region was carried out from 10 to 13 October, 2018. 29 water points were examined and 16 samples were tested for laboratory analysis in Gurjaani, Telavi, Kvareli, Lagodekhi, Akhmeta and Sagarejo municipalities. The following water parameters were defined on the field: Water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, total hardness, nitrite, nitrate and ammonium ions content. According to the hydrogeological zoning of Georgia, wells are placed within the artesian basin of the Alazani and artesian basin of Iori-Shiraki. The Alazani artesian basin’s characterized by a large area of distribution among the artesian basins spread throughout Georgia, with abundant water supply and special importance for the country. It’s one of the hydrogeological structures that spread in the trans-boundary zone. According to the existing literature, by the 1965, 573 searching and exploration wells had been drilled in the basin. Within this period the studies were carrying out about groundwater regime, conducted in various districts of the hydrogeological test work, which determined the basis of the calculation of hydrogeological Settings and prepared Alazani artesian basin hydrological thematic maps. Similar researches were conducted on the territory of the Iori-Shiraki artesian Basin. As for the latest material, in the framework of the renewed hydrogeological monitoring, since 2013, LEPL National Environmental Agency of Geology Department has been establishing about the quantitative and qualitative parameters of fresh groundwater. There are 22 monitoring wells in the Alazani Artesian Basin, and in the Iori-Shiraki Artesian Basin - 6 monitoring wells. As noted above, in the framework of the "EUWI+" project, 29 water points were examined in the field of the Alazani-Iori basin. Below is the location of the wells with reference to the administrative and hydrogeological properties (Table №1) and data on the water characteristic parameters defined in field conditions (Table №2).

~~FIELD ROUTE IN KVEMO KARTLI REGION (KHRAMI-DEBEDA BASIN)~~

On October 13-14, 2018 field works were carried out in Kvemo Kartli region - Bolnisi, Dmanisi and Marneuli municipalities. 4 samples were taken for laboratory analysis. Wells are located in rivers basins of Khrami, Poladauri and Mashavera. According to the Hydrogeological Zoning Scheme, they belong to Marneuli-Gardabani Artesian basin and Javakheti East slope fractured groundwater district area. The location of the wells and the parameters specified in the field conditions are presented in the tables (Table №3, №4). The field route was also carried out by the village Shulaveri, village Tsereteli and village in the neighborhood of Baitalo River due to the selection of groundwater wells in the river basin of Debeda. It should be noted that the population individually consumes the filters of the rivers Khrami and Debeda (≈5-6 m. from the ground surface) and uses as drinking water.

ანოტაცია „EUWI+ (ევროკავშირის წყლის ინიციატივა პლიუსი)“ პროექტის ფარგლებში, 2018 წლის 10-15 ოქტომბერს განხორციელდა ჰიდროგეოლოგიური წინასწარი საველე სამუშაოები ალაზანი- ორისა და ხრამი-დებედას მდინარეთა აუზებში.

საველე სამუშაოების მიზანი იყო მიწისქვეშა მტკნარი სასმელი წყლის ჭაბურღილების შერჩევა, წყლის ძირითადი მახასიათებელი პარამეტრების საველე პირობებში განსაზღვრა და ლაბორატორიული ანალიზებისათვის წყლის სინჯების აღება.

წინამდებარე ანგარიშში წარმოდგენილია მოკლე ინფორმაცია ჩატარებული საველე სამუშაოების, დასინჯული წყალპუნქტების და ველზე განსაზღვრული პარამეტრების შესახებ. ანგარიშს დანართის სახით ახლავს მიწისქვეშა წყლის სინჯების საველე პროტოკოლები, რომლებიც შევსებულია ევროკავშირის წყლის ჩარჩო დირექტივით მოთხოვნათა დაცვით.

ჩატარებული სამუშაოები მნიშვნელოვანია საქართველოში მიწისქვეშა მტკნარი სასმელი წყლის მონიტორინგის ქსელის გაუმჯობესებისა და ევროკავშირის წყლის ჩარჩო დირექტივით გათვალისწინებული მოთხოვნების შესრულების მხრივ.
