Der Rioni nahe Kutaissi
Weltkarte von Anaximander mit dem Rioni als Phasis
Der Rioni (georgisch რიონი) ist der drittgrößte Fluss Georgiens.
Er ist 333 Kilometer lang, entspringt am Südwestabhang des Großen Kaukasus in der Swanetien. Er durchfließt zunächst die Region Ratscha-Letschchumi und Niederswanetien zumeist als wild tosender Gebirgsfluss, erreicht in Imeretien das Flachland und durchquert die Kolchische Tiefebene an der Grenze zwischen Mingrelien und Gurien in westlicher Richtung zum Schwarzen Meer. An seiner Mündung bei Poti bildet er ein sumpfiges Flussdelta. Die Ufer des Rioni zeichnen sich durch üppige Vegetation und großen Waldreichtum aus.
Der Oberlauf wird zur Stromproduktion genutzt: Die Wasserkraftwerkskaskade Warziche ist mit einer Leistung von 184 Megawatt (MW) der drittgrößte Stromproduzent Georgiens. Die Regierung plant die Errichtung weiterer Wasserkraftwerke am Rioni: Namachwani (250 MW) und Schoneti (100 MW). Am Unterlauf in der Tiefebene wurde der Fluss zu sowjetischer Zeit eingedämmt, begradigt und mit einem ausgedehnten Kanalsystem ergänzt, um die subtropische Landwirtschaft zu bewässern.
Bearbeiten Geschichte
Die Griechen nannten den Fluss Phasis (Φάσις). Bereits Hesiod erwähnt ihn in der Theogonie[1]. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung findet sich auch bei Pseudo-Hippokrates (Über die Lüfte, die Gewässer und die Örtlichkeiten[2]), später auch Apollonios von Rhodos [3], Vergil [4] und Aelius Aristides [5]. Hekataios von Milet nahm an, dass der Phasis schwarzes und kaspisches Meer verband.
Der Fluss war bereits im 7. Jahrhundert v. Chr. von großer Bedeutung. Er verband die griechische Hafenstadt Phasis (heute Poti) an der Flussmündung mit Kutaia (heute Kutaissi) am Mittellauf des Flusses. Schiffe transportierten Getreide, Metall, Wein, Oliven und Keramik.

Overall, we are coming out of a debt crisis and a deflationary environment and into an inflationary one that will be very supportive of the oil price,” Kaha Kiknavelidze, managing partner at hedge fund firm Rioni Capital, told the Energy Risk website.
