Abstract
This assessment report presents the
results of a study focused on the Sioni Reservoir watershed,
which is subject to seasonal sediment loads affecting the
sustainability of water for hydropower generation and
irrigation. The study reveals the major causes of landscape
degradation within target watershed and sediment loads to
the Sioni Reservoir affecting the suitability of water for
irrigation and the lifetime of the dam. The study also
identifies the main interventions for landscape restoration
and provides a brief analysis of the institutional and
policy gaps and recommendations that are applicable for
other watersheds in the region as well.
