Ecological problems of environment mudflows and their prediction: experience of Georgia

Among the natural disasters on the planet, especially in the mountainous and foothill regions, it is widespread erosive-debris flow events, which have the most significant environmental and economic damage to humanity. Georgia is no exception. This paper aims to develop a new methodology to calculate the predictive quantities of debris flow, essential for implementing anti-debris flow measures. Based on the available data and various calculations, a completely new empirical approach has been adopted to calculate predictive quantities of debris flow spent, predicting debris flow spent in the mountains and foothill regions of Georgia. The suggested methodology reflects the physics of debris-flow processes at a very high level and can be applied to calculate debris flow in various world regions.
