As of 09.03.2026, the amount of available stored volumes in the complex dams is 4939.8 million cubic meters, which represents 75.58% of their total volume.

According to data from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH), river levels in the country are stabilizing, with no significant changes expected in the coming days. Water quantities will be below the caution thresholds. According to the forecast for the period from March 9 to 16, no precipitation or adverse weather conditions are expected.

The Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) reminds local authorities to implement the measures provided for in the Flood Risk Management Plans 2022-2027 and to monitor current hydrometeorological information and forecasts for hazardous phenomena published on the official website of the ministry.

The MOEW manages water resources in 52 significant and complex dams. You can find more about this in the Daily Bulletin on the State of Waters on the website of the ministry.
