We studied family level diversity and distribution of benthic invertebrate communities in threevlakes (Madatapa, Khanchali, Bughdasheni) of Javakheti plateau (Georgia). In total 35 families of all major phyla were recorded (not included families of Ostracoda, Nematoda, Turbellaria) among which Chironomidae (Diptera) and Gammaridae (Amphipoda) were the most abundant and widespread. Several family based biotic indices indicated that in studied lakes, level of organic pollution (eutrophication) is high and the stability and health of ecosystems are low. In spite of the protected status of these lakes, anthropogenic pressure is still high and further research and biodiversity monitoring is needed in order to evaluate the ecosystem dynamics and most significantly affecting factors.
