The expedition works were conducted on urban soils on the territory and adjacent to the Madneuli enterprise of Kvemo Kartli region. Taken from the soil samples 0-10 cm depth. In them determined heavy metals - Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn, Cd, Co and Ni by plasma-emission spectrometer-ICP-OES. The quality of some heavy metal contamination of soil is revealed in connection with Clark; The quality of pollution of urban soils is studied: the risk of pollution, the contamination concentration coefficient, the total characteristic of pollution and the contamination index. Bolnisi municipality urban soils are contaminated with heavy metals cadmium etc in Kazreti. These pollution in accordance with ecological-hygienic categories meets with heavy metals total pollution ZCC<16 "allowable", ZC=16-32 "moderately dangerous" categories.

2019-2020 was studied with hydrochemical and microbiological characteristic of the natural waters surrounding the Madneuli enterprise, taking into account the issues of biodiversity control and maintenance. Increased heavy metals - Cd, Fe, Zn and Cu content in natural waters with more permissible concentration; The rest of heavy metals are with in the scope of the norm; Iron high mediums are identified in drinking and artesian waters. In 2020 enterprise made lots of works among them the river Kazretula was capsuled where the river water is clean and the fact that the dirtiest river, where the wastewater falls from the enterprise, which was microbiologically, the dead river is now relatively clean and Biodiversity begins to restore

There are currently 56 official non-hazardous waste landfills in Georgia, of which only 36 are operational. The data should indicate that there is no official landfill for construction waste or an existing landfill for hazardous waste. There are many uncontrolled landfills in Georgia. Pollution conditions have been studied based on modern methodology and techniques (ISO methods).

The obtained results allow the conclusion:

 • Pollution is different for western and eastern Georgia. Analysis of water and soil samples showed that the landfill areas and water bodies in western Georgia are relatively less polluted than similar areas in eastern Georgia;

• In the analyzed samples, the concentrations of various contaminants identified from soil and water samples (heavy metals - Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd and biogenic elements - total coli forms, fecal streptococci and E. coli) exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations.

There are currently 56 official landfills for non-hazardous waste, of which only 36 are operational. However, it should be noted that there is no official landfill for construction waste or an existing landfill for hazardous waste. There are many uncontrolled landfills in Georgia. They are located in populated areas, valleys and rivers. You can often find hazardous waste at landfills, as Georgian law does not regulate the management of hazardous waste. Thus, uncontrolled landfills pose a huge threat to the population of the region. In the regions and especially in the villages, local governments are unable to provide a high level of cleaning services, which is caused by the years and amount of waste accumulated in different areas. Often uncontrolled landfills are located near populated areas. Moreover, hazardous waste can also be dumped in uncontrolled landfills, which may cause health problems for the population of the regions.

The most visible uncontrolled landfills in the western and eastern part of Georgia were selected. In particular, the regions of Mtskheta-Mtianeti and Kvemo Kartli have been studied in Eastern Georgia; And in western Georgia Imereti and Samtskhe-Javakheti, respectively. Both chemical and microbiological analyzes were performed on samples taken from their surrounding areas. If the landfill was located in the vicinity of a river, the main physico-chemical parameters of surface waters were determined using field equipment during field work. Relevant evaluations were provided after processing the obtained results. Risks caused by environmental pollution and negative impacts on public health were assessed.

The paper discusses the study of chemical and microbiological contamination of artificial reservoirs located on the saline soils of the Alazani Valley; The impact of saline soils and groundwater on artificial reservoirs is discussed, which has a significant impact on their chemical composition, in particular, its mineralization. The high content of some ingredients at the appropriate maximum allowable concentrations has been identified. Concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Ag) were within the normal range  

The paper discusses the study of chemical and microbiological contamination of old Anaga artificial reservoirs; High content of some ingredients at the maximum allowable concentration of fishery water has been revealed
