Irrigation water supply for farmers should be stable and reliable - Gigla Tamazashvili

For “Georgian Amelioration”, as a company focused on delivering high-quality services, the development of new reservoirs and water storage facilities is crucial to ensure more stable supply of irrigation water to water users and enable farmers to produce high-quality and abundant crops.

To this end, the company is actively exploring opportunities both for the construction of new reservoirs and for the rehabilitation and restoration of previously suspended or deteriorated facilities and their return to operation.

Gigla Tamazashvili, General Director of “Georgian Amelioration” Ltd, together with the heads of relevant departments, visited Bershueti, the village in Shida Kartli located near the occupation line. During the visit, they discussed the situation in-situ and options for eliminating the irrigation water deficit.

“On the background of global climate change, it is particularly significant to accumulate water resources and create reserves so that the supply of irrigation water to our farmers becomes more stable and reliable. This is why it’s important to develop small-scale reservoirs and water storage facilities that can ensure irrigation water availability, particularly during periods of drought. To this end, “Georgian Amelioration” has started extensive studies. We are exploring the possibility of restoring projects that were suspended at the end of the last century, while also identifying new locations where small reservoirs could be arranged. This will contribute to increasing water covered areas and improving irrigation water supply to farmers”, - said Gigla Tamazashvili.

As he emphasized, the particular importance of the government’s support for the villages located along the occupation line and ensuring their access to irrigation water. In case of the arrangement of small-scale reservoir on the Bershuela River for addressing the irrigation water deficit, the facility will help supply irrigation water to the adjacent villages.
