Like other small rivers in Georgia, the river Lopota, which is one of the most
important left tributaries of the river Alazani, is ecologically less studied. Although, phosphorus -
potassium fertilizers containing heavy metals from agricultural lands, leaching sediment , composts
made of municipal and household waste are systematically leached into the river Lopota, the
composition of heavy metals, copper, zinc, iron, lead, nickel, manganese is lower than it is accepted.
This fact is promoted by water pH, under which these metals are hydrolyzed and their main mass is
accumulated at the bottom, and the rest of it is absorbed in the floating silt. Therefore, they cannot
have a negative impact on self-scouring and ecological condition of the river.
