Improvements to the irrigation system covering 4,075 hectares of land in Marneuli and Bolnisi municipalities would improve water supply to 11 villages, says the Agriculture Ministry.

“The project would significantly increase quality harvest for the villages of Tsurtavi, Parizi, Kizilajlo, Tamarisi, Tsereteli, Sabirkendi, Algeti, Tazakendi, Azizkendi, Algetis Mevenakheoba and Keshalo. The surrounding area of the city of Marneuli and businesses will also benefit from the restored irrigation system.
