| description |
This analytical work assesses the
current capabilities of, as well as the gaps and challenges
faced by, the Georgian Hydrometeorological Department (GHMD)
in producing and delivering weather, climate, and
hydrological (hydrometeorological) products and services
based on users’ needs. It provides the government
authorities and decision makers in Georgia with a technical
strategic framework for improvements in hydromet and early
warning systems and services (EWS), to provide socioeconomic
benefits to the Georgian population; safeguard their lives,
livelihoods, and property; and protect economic investments.
The road map consists of 11 chapters. Chapters 1-3 highlight
the climate and hydrological hazards affecting Georgia,
their consequent risks, and the socioeconomic impacts on the
Georgian people. Chapter 4 provides an assessment of users’
needs for hydromet information. Chapter 5 gives an overview
of the institutional and organizational structure of GHMD,
while chapter 6 provides an in-depth analysis of GHMD’s
current status. Chapter 7 discusses modernization of
hydromet and EWS. Chapters 8 and 9 present the road map in
detail, along with three proposed successive development
scenarios designed to transform GHMD into a technically
modern and sound hydrometeorological service by narrowing
the gap between GHMD’s current status and the level of
services needed for fully discharging its public service
mandate. Chapter 10 presents a detailed socioeconomic
benefits analysis. Finally, chapter 11 lays out the
conclusions and a way forward, and several annexes provide
additional details. |
