The history of the Paliastomi Lake

Entry date: 2020-09-01

Author(s): Zurab Janelidze

The results of a study of clay sediments containing of large amount of organic material developed from the bottom surface to a depth of 10 m using lithological, lithographic, and radiocarbon methods, give an idea of the history of Paliastomi Lake (located in the Republic of Georgia, on the Black Sea coast).
The area around the Paliastomi Lake, 6000-8000 years ago, was occupied by the sea bay, which was developed as a result of the development of the Flandrian transgression of the ocean. To the end of the Flandrian transgression, the bay began to be filled with alluvial-proluvial and swampy sediments. About 6000-6500 years ago the reduced part of the bay was occupied by a freshwater lake.
Over the past 6000 years, under the conditions of slight oscillations of sea level, the hydro and morphodynamics of the Paliastomi Lake have remained almost unchanged.

Ecological Problems of the Lake Paliastomi

Entry date: 2020-09-01

Author(s): Zurab Janelidze, Giorgi Janelidze

The reasons that cause ecological problems of Lake Paliastomi (located in Georgia, a few hundred meters from the Black Sea coast) are the following: 1. Construction of the sea-port and the city of Poti in the coastal zone near Paliastomi Lake in the 1860s and their increasing functioning. The ecological balance that formed for thousands of years in the lake has been disrupted as a result of selfish human activities (e.g., overhunting, fishing, deforestation, etc.). 2. Ecological degradation has intensified since the 1920s when Lake Paliastomi was connected to the sea via the Maltakva Channel. As a result, the freshwater lake has transformed into a saline lagoon, which has led to a severe restriction of the living conditions of freshwater plants and animal organisms.
