    Documentation and Testing of the Aragvi River Basin Planning Model and Evaluation of Water Management Strategies by Samuel Sandoval Solis, Ph.D. J. Pablo Ortiz Partida Peter Hartsough, Ph.D. Lindsay L. Floyd And Kakha Bakhtadze, Nino Kheladze, Lasha Sukhishvili, Ph.D. Eliso Barnovi Irakli Kobulia July 2017 WATER MANAGEMENT LAB University of California, Davis 1 Shields Ave. Dept. LAWR, Bldg. PES 1110, Davis, CA, 95616 This document is available online via World Wide Web at http://watermanagement.ucdavis.edu/e-library/ Acknowledgments This work completes part of a project with USAID. - 2 - ABSTRACT The Aragvi River Basin, located in the North East part of Georgia, belongs to the Mtkvari (Kura) River Basin. Administratively, the basin is located in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region and is split between the Kazbegi (Origin of the river), Dusheti and Mtskheta (confluence to Mtkvari) municipalities. Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, relies on water from this basin, but there are other water uses such as hydropower generation and irrigation drawing from the same water source. Throughout the last few decades, there has been a competition for water, and with a growing population this competition is expected to increase in the near future. The USAID – G4G is a five-year USAID funded project implemented by Deloitte Consulting LLP since 2014. G4G is designed to enhance governance in selected business enabling areas. Water resource management, one of the main components of the project, aims to support the Government of Georgia (GoG) to improve water resource management across multiple competing interests. An important water resource management activity for Georgia is the balancing of the needs between competing users and consumers of water.
