Abstract

Ecological and hydrological problems of water reservoirs on rivers of the Black Sea coast in the context of the increasing air temperature and emissions of greenhouse gases, the melting of glaciers, and the occurrence of floods and forest fires have been analysed in the given article. The article presents the results of field and theoretical studies of sedimentation processes in the large water reservoirs of Georgia focusing on their morphometric conditions during the warming period.
