Water quality

   What are the impacts of the poor water quality



There exist high risk of drinking water and sewage mixing in the city, since  pipes of these systems are located unadmittedly close to each other. This, in its turn, causes high percentage of infectious diseases in the population. Disastrous by this was 1994-95 situation. In both cases the mixing of sewage with drinking water is supposed to be the reason of spread of infectious diseases . The spread of amebiosis in Tbilisi last summer was of epidemic nature, resulting in dozens of people hospitalized and fatal endings of several cases.
