  • Water Regime of Trans-Boundary Rivers Between Bulgaria and Serbia
    GEOGRAPHICAL INSTITUTE “JOVAN CVIJIĆ” SASA JOURNAL OF THE … Vol. 60 № 2 YEAR 2010 Original scientific paper 911.2:551.49 HYDROLOGICAL PICTURE OF NIŠAVA TRANS-BOUNDARY CATCHMENT Nelly Hristova1* *University St. Kliment Ohridski, Faculty of Geology and Geography, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract: This work focuses on hydrographic and hydrological specific of Nišava River. It uses all hydrometric and cartographic information for the Bulgarian part of the catchment. Trans- boundary catchment of Nišava River includes four sub-basins, which are trans-borders too. There are a lot of karst areas in the river basin. The drainage density is 1.09 km/km2. Water resources of Nišava River are 170 million m3. They vary between 300.0 and 84.0 million m3. The period of high water appears in March/April and finishes in June. The frequency of monthly maximum is biggest in April or May. The monthly minimum appears most often in September or October. Floods in the catchment of the river Nišava are most often in March, May and June. Some of the rivers lose its waters in the karst areas and dries up during the summer. The average number of days with ice is between 10 and 70. The chemical and ecological status of river water is good. Key words: Nišava River, water resources, stream flow’s regime Introduction There are 71 international river basins in Europe witch cover 54 % of total area (Wolf et al., 1999). One of them – Danube basin, includes some trans-boundary catchments between Bulgaria and Serbia – drainage basins of Timok River (right tributary of Danube) and Nišava River (right tributary of South Morava).

  • Fresco Hunting in Bulgaria
    Georgia Gene Berryhill, Ph.D. Gene Berryhill was a Fulbright Senior Specialist in Bulgaria, May 2010 for seventeen days. In the U.S. she teaches art history at the University of Maryland-UMUC, part-time and continues to work as a documental photographer and exhibit her collections. © 2010 geneberryhill Fresco Hunting in Bulgaria On a cool, damp morning I arrived at my local Southern California airport suited up in padded nylon vest, zipped-leg pants and sturdy hiking boots. Besides a suitcase, I had my trusty Nikon D1H digital camera, lenses, battery packs, flash unit, flash cards, compass and field book in tow—I was on my way to Bulgaria as a Fulbright Senior specialist grantee to serve as a documental photographer and lecturer with my institutional host, The Balkan Heritage Field School. Twenty hours later, my plane was flying low over rolling green hills, preparing to land in the capital city of Sofia. The sky was a clear, pristine blue. The first notable architecture in sight was several tall towers of apartment buildings, constructed during the Communist Era (1944-1989). On the left, was a stunning view of the snow-capped Vitosha Mountain, a popular ski resort. Left: Mt. Vitosha The whole scene filled me with wonder and excitement. I’d spent my first two Fulbrights in northeastern Germany, but anticipated that the East European Balkans would be a unique experience. For myself, I was drawn here due to a long time desire to experience Byzantine and Medieval art, folklore and culture from an Eastern Orthodox perspective. Meeting me at the Sofia Airport was Ivan Vasilev, executive director of the Balkan Heritage Field School.

  • The Localization Role of Infrastructure and Its Impact on Population and Rural Economy

At the same time it is an important element of the environment in rural areas. The state of the regional infrastructure of an area is an important part of its resources and development potential. It is proved that the localizing role of this transport corridor in relation to the other infrastructure elements had a strong influence on the spatial location of population and depopulation processes that occurred in rural areas. Based on these understandings we made an analysis of the current state of social infrastructure in rural areas, through which an international transport corridor passes. Hence, the infrastructure development in accordance with the necessities is an essential condition and further stimulator for sectoral and territorial concentration and specialization of the rural economy. 1. INTRODUCTION It strongly influences the possibilities for the diversification of the rural economy. The construction of infrastructure is an When a higher-class transport infrastructure important prerequisite for the future socio-economic is working on the territory – it is logical to expect its development of rural areas.

  • 17 Terrestrial Cave Animals in Bulgaria
    17 Terrestrial Cave Animals in Bulgaria Petar Beron National Museum of Natural History, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd. 1, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Karstic landscape cover about 22.7% of the Bulgarian territory, with more than 5000 caves and potholes. Regular exploration of the cave fauna of Bulgaria started in 1922, and by the end of 2005 more than 800 animal species have been reported from 780 caves. Troglobite and stygobite species are 167, most of them Bulgarian endemics. The most important groups are Diplopoda (54 spp, 17 troglobites), Coleoptera (123 spp, 41 troglobites), and others. Monograph on the cave fauna of Bulgaria is being prepared, containing all available data and bibliography of over 500 titles. Main centers of biospeleological studies are the National Museum of Natural History and the Institute of Zoology (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) 1 Introduction Bulgaria is situated in one of the richest regions housing cave animals, especially the terrestrial ones: the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. Bulgarian cave fauna has been explored very actively, mostly by the Bulgarian biospeleologists. This is due mainly to the solid tradition left by the school of Dr. Ivan Buresch but also to the well-developed speleology, traditionally centered on the scientific research and led by specialists from Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Already for more than 80 years, Bulgarian biospeleologists explore the rich troglobite fauna of their country, its karst containing almost 5000 caves. The results have been put together by several authors and now form a very solid basis for zoogeographical analysis.
