Abstract

This study evaluates the potential and ecological safety of drinking water resources in two municipalities of the Kakheti region—Kvareli and Sagarejo. The primary objective is to assess the quality and spatial distribution of water based on available chemical and organoleptic parameters. The data were obtained from studies conducted by the Kakheti Regional Branch of the United Water Supply Company of Georgia during the years 2023–2024. The results indicate that the quality of drinking water largely complies with national standards, while minor deviations in turbidity are attributed to prevailing climatic conditions. The paper also highlights the impact of climate change on water resources and emphasizes the need for sustainable ecological management.
