This article summarizes the existing meteorological, hydrological and snow data in , installation of the monitoring network, collection of water samples, and snow hydrology fieldwork in the Gudjareti catchment. In the frame new project was organizing additional network in the catchment Mitarbi, provided a lot of new data on snow hydrology in the studied area that was not available before. Measurements at different altitudes were useful. Although snowfall represents just about 30% of annual precipitation, snowmelt water is an important source of water for the rivers (maximum contribution about 50%). Snowmelt affects river runoff at least 2-3 months. Yet, stable water isotopes in the snowmelt water significantly differ among the sites and they are different from those in the snow cover.
