Floods in Bulgaria
1 Floods in Bulgaria Gergov, George, Filkov, Ivan, Karagiozova, Tzviatka, Bardarska, Galia, Pencheva, Katia National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology Sofia, Bulgaria [email protected] Resume We distinguish the torrent floods of rivers as short-termed phenomena, lasting generally for only several hours and in very rare cases – for up to several days. Appropriate scientific methods for their forecasting are lacking. The short duration of the torrent floods, including their formation, do not make possible the organization of effective protection and safety measures. In many cases the inhabitants does not possess the required training to take-in urgent evacuation or adequate reaction. Torrential rainfalls of intensity up to 0.420-0.480 mm/min and duration of up to 15-29 min. predominate. The frequency of rainfalls above 0.300 mm/min accounts between 20-30 and 50-60 cases per year, while in the case of those with intensity above 0.600 mm/min the frequency diminishes to between 7-10 and 25-30 cases per year. The available hydrological information reveals, that irrespective of the ascending drought the frequency and dimensions of the torrent floods remain unchanged. The biggest flood, ever recorded in Bulgaria, was that of 31st aug.-01st sept.1858 along the Maritsa River in Bulgaria when the river banks in the town of Plovdiv have been flooded by 1-1.2 m. of water. The most ancient data for a devastating flood comes from the Turkish novelist Hadji Halfa. It concerns the Edirne (Odrin) flood in 1361. Numerous digital parameters of the floods are used in hydrology, like for instance, time of rise and time of fall of the flood, achieved water level maximum, average and maximum flow speed of the water current, size and duration of the flood, frequency and duration of the emergence, ingredient of the free water surface, time of concentration and time of travel (propagation) of the high flood wave, depth and intensity of the rainfall, state of the ground cover, preliminary moisture content of the watershed basin, etc. -

The concentrations of a total of 47 elements were determined by means of instrumental epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Multivariate sta- tistics was applied to characterize the sources of elements detected in the samples. Four groups of elements were found. -
Flood Forecasting System for the Maritsa and Tundzha Rivers
Flood forecasting system for the Maritsa and Tundzha Rivers Arne Roelevink1, Job Udo1, Georgy Koshinchanov2, Snezhanka Balabanova2 1HKV Consultants, Lelystad, The Netherlands 2National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract Climatic and geographical characteristics of Maritsa and Tundzha River Basins lead to specific run- off conditions, which can result in extreme floods downstream, as occurred in August 2005 and March 2006. To improve the management of flood hazards, a flood forecasting system (FFS) was set up. This paper describes a forecasting system recently developed in cooperation with the National Institute for Hydrology and Meteorology (NIHM) and the East Aegean River Basin Directorate (EARBD) for the rivers Maritsa and Tundzha. The system exits of two model concepts: i) a numerical, calibrated model consisting of a hydrological part (MIKE11-NAM) and hydraulic part (MIKE11-HD) and ii) a flood forecasting system. For some basins both meteorological and discharge measurements are available. These basins are calibrated individually. The hydraulic models are calibrated based on the 2005 and 2006 floods. The hydrological and hydraulic models are combined and calibrated again. The flood forecasting system (using MIKE-Flood Watch) uses the combined calibrated hydrological and hydraulic models and produces forecasted water levels and alerts at predefined control points. The system uses the following input: • Calculated and measured water levels; • Calculated and measured river discharges; • Measured meteorological data; • Forecasted meteorological data (based on Aladin radar grid). Depending on the available input the forecast lead-time is short but accurate, or long but less accurate. If one of the input data sources is not available the system automatically uses second or third order data, which makes it extremely robust. -
Rainfall Monitoring and Discharge Forecasting
RAINFALL MONITORING AND DISCHARGE FORECASTING OVER MEDITERRANEAN BASINS IN BULGARIA Eram Artinian, Dobri Dimitrov National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology of Bulgaria – regional centre Plovdiv, Bulgarian Academy of Science [email protected] The Arda River basin is located in the Southeast part of Bulgaria. Its climate is highly influenced by the Mediterranean. For instance over 70% of the river flow of Arda River at Vehtino village is concentrated in winter-spring period. On the other hand, summer months are very dry with average river flow at basin outlet between 20 and 30 m3/sec. Three large dams forming a cascade are built in 1950s on the river bed – Kardzhaly, Studen Kladenets and Ivaylovgrad. Their total capacity is about 1 billion m3 versus mean annual inflow of about 2 billion m3. Hydrological observations were made since 1950s. There are 7 operating stations by now. The river stages are recorded on paper support by limnigraphs. Once a month the river discharges are measured by using current meters. Discharge rating curve is established for each station. 16 automatic rain gages were 2 installed in 2006 and real-time precipitation data is processed Arda River basin in Bulgaria covers about 5200 km and in every 3 h to produce fields with grid cell size of 8 km. Greece (on the right) about 600 km2. To optimize reservoir management for energy production and for limiting dam overflow an automatic rainfall monitoring network coupled with discharge forecasting system was developed. Forecasted precipitation and air temperature outputs from ALADIN with 72 h lead- time are used. -

Territorial distribution • The biggest district as regards the number of population is Sofia capital, where 1 291 591 persons live or 17.5% of the population in the country. -
