Synopsis

The reason for the disruption of hydraulic facilities, including Zhinvali earth dam (Georgia) may be natural calamities (earthquake, storm, mudflow, etc.), technogenic factors (corrosion and collapse of the building structures, violation of water intake regimes, etc.), as well as sabotage and terroristic acts and use of arms destructing dams during the war. In case of disruption of a hazardous hydrodynamic plant, a 102-meter-high Zhinvali earth dam in our case, destructing tsunami-type waves are formed potentially.
