Georgia has a number of laws and regulations governing water resources, dating back to the late nineties and partially amended after 2003. Changes, however, have not always followed a clear and coherent strategy. As a result, in the words of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the current legislation is an “unworkable and fragmented system”. The Government of Georgia (GoG) has started changing the Georgian water management legislation to meet the obligations deriving from the Association Agreement (AA) signed with European Union (EU) in June 2014. The implementation of the principles of the EU Water Framework Directive (EU WFD), is seen as a possible solution for the pressing challenges characterizing Georgia’s water management sector, the main ones being water pollution and the inefficient use of water resources.
