The Mukhrani artesian basin is a reservoir containing high quality groundwater. Well-known aquifers and galleries are located within the artesian basin, which are one of the main sources of drinking and household water supply for the city of Tbilisi. The article summarizes the hydrogeological conditions of the Mukhrani artesian basin. The hydrogeological parameters of the productive aquifer were determined based on the results of studies carried out at the existing water intakes. A hydrodynamic map of the artesian basin was compiled. The spatial and quantitative distribution of groundwater resources in the basin has been estimated. Established dynamic (natural) resources and static (natural) reserves of groundwater.
