GREATER LIAKHVI RIVER

(Redirected from Liakhvi River)
The 'Greater Liakhvi River' is a river in central Georgia, which rises on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range in the rebel region of South Ossetia and flows into the Kura (Mtkvari) River. The cities of Tskhinvali and Gori lie along the banks of the ''Great Liakhvi''. The river is mainly fed by the melting snows and glacier runoff of the Caucasus Mountains as well as by underground water sources. Liakhvi reaches its highest water volume in the spring and summer while the lowest volume is recorded in the winter, when some segments of the river freeze over.
