Sewage in the Mtkvari River
Date: 25 November 2024
"I've lived here for many years, but it's never been in this condition. Fish are dying out, even species listed in the Red Book. Pollution affects everything—water quality and the environment. Who would want to be here? Sometimes the smell is so bad… I've seen so many things, but never anything like this," says a fisherman we spoke to along the Mtkvari River in the Dighomi area, who asked for anonymity.
"Take Gldanula or even a village or a river. Suppose you follow it upstream to Tskhvarichamia, where the river begins. In that case, you'll find newly established villages, with everyone's sewage connected directly to the Gldanula. Of course, the Gldanula flows into the Mtkvari. And everyone turns a blind eye to this.
The same thing happens on the banks of the Dighomi area, where the Dighmula River flows. So it turns out that the Mtkvari is still full of sewage," the fisherman tells us.
