Tbilisi. Organizations, working on human rights and environmental issues, release a statement regarding the crisis in Chuberi.

''As it is known, 35 hydroelectric power plants are planned to be constructed on the Enguri River and its tributaries in Zemo Svaneti.

Besides Zemo Svaneti, there are more than 100 hydroelectric power plants intended to be built in other mountainous regions of Georgia. For none of these projects there have been carried out a detailed assessment of geological and seismic risks and threats of their enhancement due to global climate change. Which fact causes fair disturbance among population''.

The organizations call on the state to study current geological and hydrological processes in regions, threats and ways of their prevention, and, at the same time, help Chuberi population to recover the damage.
