• Over the next three days, river levels across the country will remain largely unchanged, with some areas seeing a slight drop

As of June 15, 2026, the total volume of water stored in major and significant dams is 5 295.5 million cubic meters, which amounts to 81.02% of their total capacity.

Дамс primarily intended for drinking and domestic water supply are ат 92.29% full of their total capacity; those for reserve drinking and domestic water supply – аt 50.93% of their total volume; for irrigation – at over 68.17% of their total volume; and for power generation – at over 86.03% of their total volume.

The “Kamchia” and “Asenovets” dams are 100% full, while the “Srechenska Bar,” “Hristo Smirnenski,” “Yovkovtsi,” “Ticha,” “Yasna Polyana,” “Borovitsa,” “Studena,” “Karagol,” “Sopot,” “Domlyan,” “Pchelina,” “Alexander Stamboliyski,” “Belmeken,” “Vacha,” “Krichim,” “Kardzhali,” “Ivaylovgrad,” and “Rozov Kladenets” at over 90%. The “Kamchia,” “Asenovets,” “Pchelina,” and “Pancharevo” dams are overflowing.

Given the high water levels in most of the major and significant dams, the operating companies have been notified of the need to take timely action to ensure sufficient free capacity in the dam they manage, in order to prevent the harmful effects of overflowing water.

According to data from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, this afternoon there will be brief showers and thunderstorms in some areas. Overnight leading to Tuesday, rain and thunderstorms will occur mainly in Northern Bulgaria, with intense conditions in some areas. Conditions are also favorable for hail. Tomorrow, rain and thunderstorms will occur mainly in the mountainous regions. On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and into the night, rain and thunderstorms will occur in some areas of the Eastern and Southern regions. The weekend and the beginning of next week will be mostly sunny.

Today and over the next three days, river levels across the country will remain largely unchanged, with some areas seeing a slight drop. As a result of the expected rainfall (June 16-18), short-term rises in river levels are possible, mainly in the mountainous parts of the watersheds and along some major rivers. Water levels will remain below the warning thresholds.

The Ministry of Environment and Water reminds local authorities to implement the measures outlined in the 2022–2027 Flood Risk Management Plans and to monitor the latest hydrometeorological information and forecasts for hazardous events, published on the ministry’s official website.

The MOEW manages water resources in 52 major and complex dams.
