Mtkvari (Kura) is the main waterway of the capital of Georgia, although its indicators (length, flood, energy potential) are inferior to other Georgian rivers.
The Kura flows through the territories of several historical and geographical provinces and large urban settlements. Therefore, for many centuries the river has served as an important waterway.
The Kura is one of the largest rivers in South Georgia, its total length is 1200 km, and the catchment area reaches 200 thousand km2. Rivers flow into the Kura: Paravani (at Khertvisi), Liakhvi (at Gori), Aragvi (at Mtskheta), Khrami, Iori and Alazani (at the Georgian-Azerbaijani border), Araks (on the territory of Azerbaijan), etc.
The Kura flows into the territory of Georgia near Vardzia, along steep slopes, a canyon-like valley. The canyon is formed between the volcanic Erushet upland and the Javakheti volcanic upland. The depth of the canyon is 500 meters. From here you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of the Tmogvi fortress.
Among the lakes of Georgia, Lake Paravani is the largest by area, Lake Tabatskuri by flood, Ritsa by depth, and Lake Paliastomi is distinguished by a variety of biovids.
Lake Paravani is located in Southern Georgia, on the Javakheti volcanic upland, between the Abul-Samsar and Javakheti ranges, at an altitude of 2073 meters above sea level. Paravani is a flowing lake. The Parvana River flows out of it, that is, the Kura Javakheti. The lake is fed mainly by groundwater and snowmelt. Groundwater determines the temperature regime of water: the temperature of the lake water is always 1-2 higher than the air temperature in coastal areas.
The large volume of water in Lake Tabatskuri is due to the surface area (14.2 km2) and depth (40 m.). Tabatskuri, like Paravani, is a high-altitude lake and is located at an altitude of 1991 meters above sea level, in Southern Georgia, between the Abul-Samsar and Trialeti ranges. The lake is mainly fed by melted snow, which is why the amplitude of the water level reaches 2 meters. The water temperature in the lake does not exceed +15 ° even in the summer months. Cold water favors the reproduction of trout, which is mined here in large quantities.
