Data on the state of water resources as of 27 July 2026 show that the total storage volume in major and significant dams is 4945.3 million cubic meters, representing 75.66 % of their total capacity. The data indicate a stable state of water resources, with 26 dams at more than 80 % full.

The dams ‘Srechenska Bara’, ‘Hristo Smirnenski’, ‘Yovkovtsi’, ‘Kamchia’, ‘Asenovets’, ‘Borovitsa’, ‘Kalin’, ‘Pchelina’, ‘Vacha’, ‘Krichim’, ‘Kardzhali’, and ‘Ivaylovgrad’ are at more than 90% full. At present, the ‘Pchelina’ and ‘Pancharevo’ dams are overflowing, whereby the facilities operate in accordance with the established safety protocols.

According to the forecast by the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, short-lived showers accompanied by thunderstorms are expected this afternoon in parts of the country from West to East. Tomorrow, showers are likely mainly in the Eastern and mountainous regions, whilst from Wednesday until the end of the week the weather will be mainly sunny, creating conditions for a gradual stabilisation of the hydrometeorological situation.

Today and over the next three days, river levels will remain largely unchanged or will fall. As a result of the expected rainfall, short-lived and insignificant rises in the levels of individual rivers in the Danube basin are possible. Water levels will remain below the warning thresholds and no dangerous hydrological phenomena are expected.

The Ministry of the Environment and Water continues to monitor in real time the state of water resources, river levels, and the operation of major and complex dams across the country. Information from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, the river basin directorates, and other relevant institutions is analysed daily to ensure that the necessary actions are taken in a timely manner should the hydrometeorological situation change.

The Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) reminds local authorities to implement the measures from the Flood Risk Management Plans for 2022 - 2027 and to monitor the latest hydrometeorological information and forecasts of hazardous events published on the Ministry’s official website.

The Ministry of Environment and Water manages water resources in 52 major and complex dams.
