The report discusses ways to rehabilitate landslide slopes and improve their resilience by means of anti-erosion mats made of natural materials, in particular Cotonmat, which are introduced by mulching on the slope, which significantly accelerates the rehabilitation process.

The report says that the quality of the Black Sea water is affected by the content of some heavy metals in the wastewater. Their quality is mainly placed in the first and second grades (according to СЭВ). The authors consider it necessary to continue the work in this direction in order to determine the water quality more precisely.

The present article considers the results of studies of causes leading to deformations of accident- sensitive, hazardous buildings and constructions in Tbilisi. The following type grounds are used mainly for bases-foundations of deformed buildings-constructions existing is Tbilisi: 1. anthropogenic, that is filled-up grounds, which are spread almost on the whole territory of the town and cover upper layers of its relief. These rocks are of very non-homogenous structure and are mainly represented by clayey grounds various contents of construction and every day wastes. These rocks are used for foundation of buildings as a result of wrongly performed engineering-geological assessment and this often leads to rather negative outcomes; 2. Clay-loamy type rocks of diluvium-proluvium genesis; 3. In the studies of clayey rocks loess grounds attract our attention. These grounds are spread widely. When dry, they are characterized by properties similar to those of clayey ones, but when wetted they lead to big vertical deformation, that is land subsidence, which is rather dangerous for bases of buildings.

The report discusses the erosion processes on the Akhaltsikhe Valle section of the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum corridor, their dynamics and the risks of geo-ecological threats. The following are some of the data obtained from the studies that can be used to achieve slope stability.

Assessment of reliability and risk of expected characteristics in the transport corridor passing through the territory of Georgia

The report deals with the assessment of the risk of erosion-denudation processes in the vulnerable areas of the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum transport corridor and the determination of the degree of reliability

The report cites Eroekomat laboratory research data on soil erosion and some advantages and disadvantages of its application in practice.

The report discusses the problems arising from the ongoing erosion-denudation processes on the mountain slopes and the bioengineering tools obtained as a result of laboratory studies, which can be used to improve the resilience of the rocks that bear these slopes.

The report talks about St. In Sighnaghi, on Erekle Mepe Street, there are problems that endanger the houses of the people living there. The results of the conducted engineering-geological surveys and the list of measures developed taking into account these results are presented.

The report discusses the fires caused by the war in Borjomi gorge (Naghvarevi gorge water) in 2008 and its ecological consequences. Data obtained on the basis of field trial studies are presented. Based on these data, the conditions for the occurrence of erosive and flood events in the valley, their measures and restorative measures have been developed, which should facilitate the practical application of the measures and the restoration of forest massifs and the existing flora.

The report refers to the river. The genetic types of loess rocks in the middle of the Mtkvari and the difference formed as a result of this genesis in terms of settling properties.

The report deals with the loose rocks common in Georgia, their special properties and the impact of these features on construction and development of territories. It is brought by the river. Characteristics of sedimentary properties of loose rocks spread in the middle of the Mtkvari and take into account the possible events that may occur during construction in the area of ​​distribution of these rocks.

Recent scientific progress in the world has given a strong impetus to the advancement of technological potential, followed by the development and construction of industrial, transport, mining energy enterprises, which leave a negative technological footprint on the Earth's surface, nature and our habitat. It is already recognized that one of the most acute problems remains the generation and accumulation of large amounts of industrial and household waste in the form of solid waste. In some areas of high industrial development, this process reaches a level that leads to the formation of modern geological formations around us, leading to a marked change in the original natural landscape. Since these formations are recorded as unconsolidated solid waste piles, they are easily exposed to modern geodynamic and hydrogeological processes and their distribution and impact on the environment is enormous. Often they have a negative impact not only on the living environment, but on the entire ecosystem - many harmful substances, heavy metals, cyanides, nitrates, pesticides, etc. Causes contamination of drinking water, agricultural land and other vital facilities. Georgia is no exception.There are currently similar problems here and there is no management or regulation tool for recording and researching these formations. The situation in some areas requires an immediate solution to the issue. For example, the Madneuli Mineral Enrichment Plant, its tailings and landfills, Chiatura mine deposits, raw material mines, international energy and transport corridors The systematic scientific research of the above anthropogenic massifs has never been developed in our country. In addition to other studies conducted within certain projects that cover completely different issues such as licensing of open pit mines, construction of roads and other linear structures, etc. The novelty of the proposed project lies in that. That it will lay the foundation for the management of industrial waste on the territory of Georgia, deal with its potential generation and become part of a comprehensive environmental impact assessment mechanism that will facilitate the assessment of the spread of formations and the variability of their boundaries. As well as a fundamental study of current processes. All this requires a scientific study of the issues and the development of a unified management system based on the findings to formulate a common vision and implement timely preventive measures. All of these actions will be an important step forward and serve to improve our living environment and the entire ecosystem.

The report refers to st. Landslide originating in Vashlijvari settlement in Tbilisi, which was of instant development and caused many problems along the road under construction there. The report discusses the causes of landslides, dynamics and expected results. It is also emphasized that the development of such areas and the implementation of construction there should be preceded by full-fledged engineering-geological surveys in order to properly and safely plan the planned activities.
