One of the discussion issues of karstological studies is the identification of karst denudation intensity; it means the quantitative evaluation of the intensity of this process, which, in turn, allows to predict the karst development. The problem of karst denudation is developed insufficiently today, which can be explained by the complexity of the issue and at the same time, the methods used to assess the intensity of denudation are not yet refined. The intensity of denudation and its general regularities in the Zemo Imereti Plateau can be judged based on the materials available at our disposal today, which were obtained based on field, experimental and laboratory multi-year studies. Based on the materials obtained by comprehensive research conducted by us, we have studied and calculated the intensity of karst denudation in the Zemo Imereti Plateau. Studies have identified that the karst denunadation intensity (surface - 64.2-190.6 m3/km2; underground - 1.5-117 m3/km2 a year) in the Zemo Imereti Plateau significantly exceeds the similar indices of Apkhazeti (values of surface and underground karst denudation in high karst strip is equal to 75-108 and 30-45 m3/km2 a year respectively, and in the foothills - 38-58 and 5-12 m3/km2 a year respectively) and Askhi karst massifs (59 m3/km2 a year), which is a result of impact of technogenic factor.
