Abstract

The article presents a brief description of interflow horizons from several locations of Javakheti - the villages Khertvisi, Toloshi, Khando, Kilda, Gelsunda and Akhalkalaki, which is related to the issue of boluses identification. This event was studied for the first time in Georgia by the group of the article authors.
