The lake is fed by rainwater and small streams. Currently, it is supplied with water from the Mtkvari River through an artificial channel and water pumps. The reservoir is used for irrigation. The bottom of the lake is covered with sulphide mud with curative properties. Kumisi mud is actively used in the balneological resort of Tbilisi.
