Abstract
This chapter describes the water resources of Georgia, characterizing them from a historical point of view and demonstrating their contemporary role in the country. The discussion further refers to the water monitoring system in Georgia, featuring both modern and old irrigation systems used in the country. Various anti-drought rituals practiced in old times are also listed in the chapter. The drinking water supply system of ancient times together with old and modern water treatment methods are sufficiently detailed. Parallels are drawn between what alchemists and Georgian King, Vakhtang VI, thought of drinking water purity. The chapter investigates whether the same issues are faced by modern science, as noted in the book by the Georgian king, and specifically, what method of water purification was preferred by him. Ancient Georgian baths and materials for water utensil production are also reviewed in the chapter.
