Aragvi River
The Aragvi River ((グルジア語:არაგვი)) and its basin are in Georgia on the southern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains. The river is long, and its basin covers an area of . The ground strata is mostly sandstone, slate, and limestone. The Jinvali Dam and its 130 MW hydro-electric power station generate much of Georgia’s power, and its construction in 1986 formed the Jinvali Reservoir, upon whose north-western shores rises Ananuri castle with its 17th-century Church of the Assumption.
==Confusion over name and course==
Given its etymology (see below; the word simply means "river"), the exact course of the Aragvi River is the source of some confusion. The river has several important tributaries, all called "aragvi":
The Tetri Aragvi ("White Aragvi")〔(グルジア語:თეთრი არაგვი), ''tetri aragvi''. Source: approx. 42°31'27.13"N, 44°24'2.40"E〕 flows from Gudauri down to the town of Pasanauri, where it is joined by the Shavi Aragvi ("Black Aragvi"),〔(グルジア語:შავი არაგვი), ''shavi aragvi''. Source: approx. 42°27'25.18"N, 44°42'40.80"E〕 the main river of Gudamakari to the north-east. Together, these two rivers continue as, simply, "the Aragvi"; from Pasanauri, the Aragvi flows south-east to the Jinvali Reservoir, where it is joined by the Pshav Aragvi〔(グルジア語:ფშავის არაგვი), ''pshavis aragvi''. Source: approx. 42°23'57.01"N, 45°8'42.74"E〕 (itself fed by the Khevsur Aragvi)〔(グルジア語:ხევსურეთის არაგვი), ''khevsuretis aragvi''. Source: approx. 42°33'45.75"N, 44°57'12.78"E〕 before flowing south to merge with the Mtkvari River by Mtskheta, Eastern Georgia's ancient capital just north of Tbilisi.
