Citizens are advised to use water wisely and rationally.

With global warming, demand is increasing. This is one of the primary messages of International Water Day, which brings together communities, organizations, and governments to advocate for water conservation and equal access to clean water resources.

Water quality and quantity are constantly monitored across the country to check qualitative parameters of the sea and rivers. The recent samples were collected a few days ago.

Georgia is one of the most water-rich countries as it has around 26,000 rivers and 860 lakes, as well as more than 730 varieties of mineral water, which is the most reliable supply of safe drinking water.

Regular monitoring, which includes both quantitative and qualitative testing of groundwater as well as surface and coastal waters, is critical in evaluating water safety.

Georgia’s National Environment Agency reports that the Water Resources Management Law, set to take effect in 2026, aims to promote responsible use of water resources.

Vasil Gedevanishvili, the chairman of the National Environment organization, stated that the agency has a modern laboratory with ISO-compliant equipment.

Nino Thandilashvili, Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, said they prioritize the provision of drinking water to the population, followed by the distribution of water across sectors to ensure that there is no scarcity.
