Description:
Flash floods and mudflows occurring on small rivers as a result of heavy rains impact various parts of Tbilisi, causing heavy damage and/or human casualties. Georgia requested the UN Climate Change Centre and Network (CTCN) for technical assistance in this regard in order to determine appropriate actions to prevent disastrous consequences of possible floods of the Dukniskhevi River within Tbilisi, as part of climate change adaptation.
The technical assistance involved technology transfer for flood hazard mapping, hydrological modelling, and flood forecasting. This was meant to advance the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) with an aim of improving the preparedness and adaptive capacity through developing climate-resilient practices that reduce the vulnerability of highly exposed communities.
Here, you will find a summary of the assistance entailed:

Expected outcome:
The assistance was hoped to result in the following:
Appropriate contingency planning for extreme flood events, based on actual flood risk maps;
Planned measures for extreme flood adaptation;
Proper spatial and land development planning, based on flooding maps, that will help to mitigate flood risk;
Transferred technology (modelling software) and modelling technique skills of trained personnel will enable future management of flood risk and modelling of various; flood scenarios and land development scenarios;
Further information:
Additional hazard(s): Heatwaves and heavy precipitation.
Approach: Disaster risk reduction/risk-based planning.
Stage in the adaptation policy cycle: Planning (including identification, appraising and prioritizing adaptation measures).
Time scale: Short-to mid-term adaptation needs.
Additional (specific) target group: Policy maker (nation and local levels).

NWPOutcome:
State of the art approaches and intensive analysis were used to understand the flood behaviour of Dukniskhevi River. In collaboration with the NDE of Georgia and the TA implementor (HYDROC GmbH), the CTCN TA contributed through:
Modelling of flooding scenarios (hydrological & hydraulic modelling and climate change impact assessment)
Mapping of flood hazard
Identification of adaptation and flood mitigation measures
Training for enhancing capacity of government officials and relevant stakeholders
