Borjomi mineral waters are one of the most important natural resources in Georgia, and their protection and the preservation of ecological stability are crucial for both the local population and the country's economy. However, the Borjomi springs are exposed to various external impacts, including erosion, landslides, flooding, and other anthropogenic factors, which negatively affect water quality and ecosystems. This paper discusses the issues of protecting Borjomi mineral waters, analyzes them, and examines the methods developed to preserve the ecological stability of this spring. The protection of Borjomi mineral waters and the maintenance of ecological stability is a contemporary challenge that requires a multifaceted approach and comprehensive measures. Based on our research and developed methods, it is possible to create a sustainable model that ensures the long-term protection of Borjomi waters and their ecological stability.
