 Georgian Academy of Sciences  Institute of Water Management and Engineering Ecology Address: I.Chavchavadze Ave.60 Date of Foundation:
Main Scientific Directions: The work of the Institute, in main, provides for: the development and improvement of existing methods and techniques of the design and technology of the construction of facilities
of water economy, melioration ,
development of measures for the protection of the
environment, as well as estimation of the risk of the safe
functioning
of various purpose facilities. The staff of the Institute consists of specialists of high intellect and experience, successfully cooperating in the scientific-technical sphere with organizations of various countries of the world. Many recommendations, developed by the Institute, have been widely recognized and implemented in the republics of the former Soviet Union, as well as in other countries of the world. Director:
Members of the Academy:
The Institute
offers: Organizations
cooperation on mutually advatangeous terms along the following lines: -development
of recommendations on ensuring security from natural and technogenic disasters; -study
of coast-protective and river-bed
control
structures
and design
of
anti-flood
structures
and
measures
for
specific
items; -prediction
of erosional
processes and study of debris-flow -phenomena; -study
of erosion control
(water and
wind) and
debris-flow
control
structures and
development
of new
resource-saving -study
of tasks of
restructuring reservoir banks and study of the -carrying
out of geotechnical control of earth - fill dams and
other
structures in the process of design, construction and exploitation; -development
of
methods
of
calculation
of
irrigation
and
diversion -prediction
of
the
reliability
of
hydrotechnical
and
water-economy
structures,
indices
of safety
and
risk,
with
development
of
recommendations; -estimation
of
the
risk
of
exposure
of
oil
and
gas
pipelines
at river
crossings; -development
of recommendations in the
sphere
of
the
economics
of
utilization
of
water
and
land
resources; -hydrological
problemes
of
rivers; -development
of
methods
of
filtration
control
measures,

water-proofing; -recommendations
on the design and construction of water-economy facilities with the use
of polymeric materials; -carrying
out analyses
of soils in
conducting feasibility
studies
of
projects; -evaluation
of
the
quality
of
water,
determination
of the degree
of
pollution
of water
facilities; -recommendations
on
the
regime

the
favorable
climatic
and
geographic
conditions
of
Georgia,
the
Institute
