After squeezing through the Iron Gates gorge and dams between Serbia and Romania, the Danube flows free for 1,000 kilometers through Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine before emptying into the Black Sea. The Lower Danube is one of the longest free-flowing stretches of river in Europe. In 2000, the governments of Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova pledged to work together to establish a green corridor along the entire length of the Lower Danube River.

  • Assessment of the Impact of Geomorphologic and Hydroclimatic Factors on the Flood Hazard in River Basins
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 121–135 PL ISSN 0081-6434 MARIYANA NIKOLOVA1, VALENTIN NIKOLOV2 (SOFIA) ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF GEOMORPHOLOGIC AND HYDROCLIMATIC FACTORS ON THE FLOOD HAZARD IN RIVER BASINS Abstract: A case study on the Yantra River Basin dynamics under recent climate fluctuations and economic changes is carried out to demonstrate the important role of some geographical factors for successful flood hazard assessment and risk management practices. The number of the extreme rainfalls and related flood events during the last decade grew in the river basin located in the Stara Planina Mountains in accordance with the trends observed in North Bulgaria and Central and Eastern Europe. The use of geoinformation technologies have provided tools for the assessment and mapping of the flood hazard. The settlements’ exposure to flood-related hazards and vulnerable zones in the Yantra River Basin have been indicated. Key words: flood hazard, climate change, river basins INTRODUCTION With the ongoing climate change, the frequency, pattern and severity of flood- ing are expected to change, and become more uncertain and more damaging. Results from the Expected Annual Damage modelling indicate that flood dam- ages related to different climate change scenarios are projected to rise across much of Europe (F e y e n et al. 2006). Current dynamics of climate, land use, economy and population density in a given river basin are some of the main drivers for respective changes of flood hazard dimensions. The Yantra River basin is one of the largest river basins in Bulgaria, with diverse landscape structure and a high degree of economic development.

Twenty-two species, collected from 13 localities, are new to the Balkan Mountains and seven of them (Dolichopus longicornis, Hercostomus chetifer, Medetera pallipes, M. muralis, Neurigona quadrifasciata, N. pallida and Sciapus costea) are new to the fauna of Bulgaria. Medetera pallipes and Sciapus costea are also new to the Balkan Peninsula. Thus, the total number of known species of the family Dolichopodidae for Bulgaria increases to 204.

  • Determination of Water Resources in Rivers in the Bulgarian Basins of the Lower Danube
    www.ebscohost.com www.gi.sanu.ac.rs, www.doiserbia.nb.rs, J. Geogr. Inst. Cvijic. 67(1) (11–25) Original scientific paper UDC: 911.2:556.53 (497.2) DOI: https://doi.org/10.2298/IJGI1701011I DETERMINATION OF WATER RESOURCES IN RIVERS IN THE BULGARIAN BASINS OF THE LOWER DANUBE Plamen Iliev Ninov*, Tzviatka Ivanova Karagiozova*, Maya Yordanova 1 Rankova* * National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology — BAS, Sofia, Bulgaria Received: December 29, 2016; Reviewed: March 10, 2017; Accepted: March 31, 2017 Abstract: Object of the study is surface water bodies from category “rivers” according to Water Framework Directive 2000/60/ЕС. Surface water assessment is important for number of activities such as: water management in the country, making reports to international agencies, determining the change of the resources in the light of upcoming climate changes. The determination of water resources is based on information of hydrometric stations from the monitoring network system in the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology — Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NIMH- BAS) in which real ongoing and available water flows that are subject of management are registered. In the study a technology for surface water bodies in the Bulgarian basins of the lower Danube is applied which has been developed in the frame of cooperative project together with the Ministry of Environment and Water. This is absolutely true for the Bulgarian section of the Danube River basin which is expressed in big number and variety of hydrological homogeneous sections. The river flow is characterized with annual and inter-annual variability determined by climatic factors and anthropogenic influences.

Their study under uncertain and changing climate threshold method, gives informative knowledge for further management decisions. This paper seeks Danube River, to analyze the spatio-temporal parameters of high flow periods within the Danube Bulgaria drainage basin in Bulgaria. Three characteristics of the hazard phenomena: time of occurring, frequency and duration are investigated. The analysis is based on daily discharge data collected from 20 gauging stations for the period 2000–2005. The surplus water quantities are identified by the Threshold level method using fixed values – Q25 and Q5, derived from the flow duration curve. Results show a concentration of the high flow periods during the spring hydrological season, with an average duration up to six weeks. The calculations establish positive correlations between the duration of high flow, the altitude of catchments, and the density of drainage network. The resulting information can serve as a support for the development of preliminary flood risk assessments in the Danube River Basin. The publication of the European Journal of Geography (EJG) is based on the European Association of Geographers’ goal to make European Geography a worldwide reference and standard.
