Selection criteria for scheme rehabilitation :
 Natural and climatic conditions




precipitation;
evaporation;
River runoff (hydrology);
Soil classes;
 Current cropping patterns and prospects of economically profitable
cropping patterns
 Water demand of main crops and importance of amelioration;

 Economic return of planned activities.
Kvemo Alazani Irrigation Scheme map
Kvemo Alazani Irrigation Scheme
rehabilitation
 The scheme was put into operation in 1933. The last reconstruction
started in 1983 and was stopped in 1990 due to the lack of funds. The
design discharge of the main canal is 20m3/sec.
 It is the gravity irrigation scheme and its design service area is 27,000
ha.
The design envisages the following:
Full rehabilitation of the irrigation scheme headworks;
Rehabilitation of the main canal (L =40 km, Q =20m3/sec.) and
secondaries ( L= 215 км) on 8,550 ha in 4 stages.
The rehabilitation cost is GEL 14.763 million
As a result of the design implementation :
water supply of 22,500 ha agricultural lands in Telavi, Gurjaani,
Signagi and Dedoplistskaro districts in Kakheti region, 40,000
households and Alazani hydropower station of 5 megawatt capacity
will fully improve.
Irrigation of 11 AA service areas (8,550 ha of agricultural lands) will
be guaranteed, therefore crop yields will increase for the benefit of
10,300 households.

Tashiskari Irrigation Scheme map
Rehabilitation of Tashiskari Irrigation Scheme
 The scheme was put into operation in 1959. The last reconstruction
started in 1983 and was stopped in 1990 due to the lack of funds.
The length is 3,300m.
 It is a gravity irrigation scheme. Its design service area is 11,400 ha.
Before the rehabilitation the scheme was in an emergency condition
and carried only 5m3/sec.
The design envisages the following:
Full rehabilitation of Khashuri Tunnel (L =3,3 км, Q =9 m3/сек.) ;
Rehabilitation of the headworks, main canal (L =58,8 км, Q =9
m3/сек.) and secondaries ( L= 208 км) on 7,500 ha in 4 stages.
The rehabilitation cost is GEL 14,394 million.
As a result of the design implementation:
Irrigation of 10 AA service areas (7,500 ha of agricultural lands) will
be guaranteed, therefore crop yields will increase for the benefit of
10,220 households.

drainage schemes
Rioni-Khobi Drainage Scheme rehabilitation
The scheme was put into operation in 1954. The last reconstruction was carried out in
the 1980s.
For the most part it is a gravity drainage scheme serving 36,800 ha and only one
section (900 ha ) is a polder with two pump stations.
The design envisages the following :
Scheme rehabilitation on 1,700 ha in 2 stages, namely pump station No1 (Q=3.5m3/sec),
main drains (11.6km), primary and secondary collectors (L=45.1km).
The rehabilitation cost is GEL 2.089 million. GEL 2.089 million has been disbursed.
As a result of the design implementation :
Drainage of 4 AA service areas (1,700 ha of agricultural lands) will be guaranteed, therefore
crop yields will increase for the benefit of 1,270 households
Works :
Works on 1,700 ha in Khobi District were started in 2002 and completed in two stages in
2005 (villages of Patar Poti, Chaladidi, Sachochuo, Sagvamichao and Sagvichio)

Rioni-Choloki Drainage Scheme Rehabilitation
The scheme was put into operation in the 1970s. It serves 36,800 ha. For the most
part it is a gravity drainage scheme and only one section (900 ha ) is a polder with
two pump stations. The drainage schemes serves a total of 29,900 ha.
The design envisages the following :
Scheme rehabilitation on 2.030 ha, namely reconstruction of the main drain (20.5 km) and
primary and secondary collectors (L=74.5km) in two stages.
The rehabilitation cost is GEL 2.028 million, out of which GEL 1.451 million has been
disbursed.
As a result of the design implementation :
Drainage of 5 AA service areas (2,030 ha of agricultural lands) will be guaranteed, therefore
crop yields will increase for the benefit of 2,750 households

Regional offices of the IDCDP
IDCDP regional offices have been established
As a result it became possible to:
 more closely collaborate with farmers and AAs and conduct
trainings in districts;
 more strictly control civil works regardless the time and place of
works.
