2023
The constantly renewable river fresh water is a key factor for any society, environment and country's economy. Numerous useful functions of river water are described. The paper focuses on the negative effect of river floods often resulting into destruction, material damage and casualties. In recent decades, as a result of global warming and anthropogenic impact on nature, the frequency and intensity of floods tend to increase. Therefore, their study and development of safety measures is today’s urgent problem, which is absolutely essential for the mountainous terrain of Georgia, where high floods occur at all times of the year resulting into huge monetary losses in the country's economy. Recommendations have been drawn up to mitigate the negative consequences of catastrophic floods.
