Kura River (Georgian:მტკვარი, Mt'k'vari; Armenian:Կուր, Kur; Azerbaijani:Kür; Ancient Greek: Cyrus; Kurdish:rûbara kur; Turkish:Kura) is an east-flowing river south of the Greater Caucasus Mountains which drains the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus east into the Caspian Sea. It also drains the north side of the Lesser Caucasus while its main tributary, the Aras drains the south side of those mountains. Starting in northeastern Turkey, it flows through Turkey to Georgia, then to Azerbaijan, where it receives the Aras as a right tributary, and enters the Caspian Sea. The total length of the river is 1,515 kilometres (941mi).
People have inhabited the Caucasus region for thousands of years, and first established agriculture in the Kura Valley over 4,500 years ago. Large, complex civilizations eventually grew up on the river, but by 1200 CE, most were reduced to ruin by natural disasters and foreign invaders. The increasing human use, and eventual damage, of the watershed’s forests and grasslands contributed to a rising intensity of floods through the 20th century. In the 1950s, the Soviet Union started building many dams and canals on the river. Previously navigable up to Tbilisi in Georgia, it is now much slower and shallower, as its power has been harnessed by hydroelectricpower stations. The river is now moderately polluted by major industrial centers like Tbilisi and Rustavi in Georgia.

Water level decline in the Kura river in Salyan, Azerbaijan | NDWI analysis | Sentinel-2
According to the latest information, the river's water level has been rapidly decreasing in recent days. The level of water in the Kura River has declined by more than 1 meter below the minimum threshold in the last 10-15 days.
This complicates the proper operation of the pumps installed along the coast, as well as agricultural irrigation.The distance between the Kura and the protective dams is currently roughly 10 meters tall. Experts fear that if the current situation persists, an environmental disaster will inevitably happen.
Despite the relatively low resolution of the images, the water level decline can be seen in our analysis of satellite images of the river from September to November. The NDWI (Normalized Differential Water Index) was employed in the analysis to determine and monit...
