From June 18, an increase in the water flow in the Aragvi River channel is expected, caused by heavy rainfall in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region and the resulting large inflow into the Zhinvali Reservoir. Please exercise special caution when moving near the Aragvi River during this period, the company said.

According to the company, during high-water conditions, the operational regime of the Zhinvali Dam is strictly controlled in accordance with the “Reservoir Operation Instructions” to ensure dam stability and safety standards.

“From June 18, an increase in the water flow in the Aragvi River channel is expected, caused by heavy rainfall in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region and the resulting large inflow into the Zhinvali Reservoir.

In addition to natural heavy rainfall, excess water released from the Zhinvali Reservoir will also join the river channel.

During high-water conditions, the operational regime of the Zhinvali Dam is strictly controlled in accordance with the ‘Reservoir Operation Instructions’ to ensure dam stability and safety standards.

We kindly ask the public to exercise special caution when moving near the Aragvi River during this period,” the statement from GWP reads.
