Under the influence of climate change, rainfall is predicted to decrease by 3-4% and run-off to decrease by 5-10%. Groundwater levels arc expected to decrease, with minor changes in groundwater quality. The 64-km river has its source in Turkey from springs on Goze Mountain (Goze Dagi), and discharges into the Kura River. In the part of the basin that is Georgia’s territory, the surface water resources are estimated, based on observations from 1936 to 1990, to be approximately 0.672 km3/year, about 14,400 m3/year/capita. In Georgia’s part of the basin, water withdrawal is 9.156 x 106 m3/year, with 78% withdrawn for energy, 13% for agricultural purposes, 4% for domestic uses and 5% for industry. Animal husbandry and agriculture are the main sources of income, and are increasing in the Turkish territory in the Kura basin (see assessment of the Kura).
