Management Plan for the Southern Basin Management Area for 2025-2030.

This Management Plan approved by the government decision regulates the Vorotan, Voghji, and Meghriget river basins. The Plan contains a physical characterization of the management area, including the hydrological and hydrogeological properties of surface and groundwater resources. It identifies specific pressure sources on water bodies, categorized as point-source and non-point source pollution.
The document establishes environmental objectives for specific water bodies and provides technical standards for water quality and quantity. It defines a regulatory framework for water resource allocation, specifying priorities and volumetric limits for drinking water, irrigation, and energy production. The text also includes maps of water conservation zones and vulnerable aquifers subject to specific protection measures.
The Plan includes a program of measures divided into fundamental and supplementary actions. These actions include the expansion of the hydrological monitoring network, the application of water use permitting procedures, and the construction of water infrastructure. The document provides a financial estimate for these measures and designates the Southern Basin Management Authority as the body responsible for coordinating the implementation and monitoring of the established benchmarks through 2030.
