  • Annex REPORT for 2019 UNDER the “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY of the REPUBLIC of BULGAR
    Annex REPORT FOR 2019 UNDER THE “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA 2012 - 2020 Operational objective: A national monitoring progress report has been prepared for implementation of Measure 1.1.2. “Performing obstetric and gynaecological examinations with mobile offices in settlements with compact Roma population”. During the period 01.07—20.11.2019, a total of 2,261 prophylactic medical examinations were carried out with the four mobile gynaecological offices to uninsured persons of Roma origin and to persons with difficult access to medical facilities, as 951 women were diagnosed with diseases. The implementation of the activity for each Regional Health Inspectorate is in accordance with an order of the Minister of Health to carry out not less than 500 examinations with each mobile gynaecological office. Financial resources of BGN 12,500 were allocated for each mobile unit, totalling BGN 50,000 for the four units. During the reporting period, the mobile gynecological offices were divided into four areas: Varna (the city of Varna, the village of Kamenar, the town of Ignatievo, the village of Staro Oryahovo, the village of Sindel, the village of Dubravino, the town of Provadia, the town of Devnya, the town of Suvorovo, the village of Chernevo, the town of Valchi Dol); Silistra (Tutrakan Municipality– the town of Tutrakan, the village of Tsar Samuel, the village of Nova Cherna, the village of Staro Selo, the village of Belitsa, the village of Preslavtsi, the village of Tarnovtsi,

Rusev Based on official data, a comparative analysis of the surface water along the rivers flowing into the Danube River in the transborder area Bulgaria– Romania is presented. The content of dissolved oxygen, nitrate nitrogen and Biological and Chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5 and COD) for a five year period 2009–2013 is analyzed. The aim is the dynamics of these indicators and the reasons for the current exceedances to be traced and analyzed. Measures for improving the condition of the surface runoff are also proposed. 1. Introduction Pursuant to the operational European program for CBC Bulgaria - Romania for the period 2007–2013 [1] includes the border areas of both countries.

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.

  • Water Resources Management in Bulgaria
    Water Resources Management in Bulgaria Dr. Atanas Paskalev * Bulgarian National Association on Water Quality ABSTRACT Located on the Balkan Peninsula, Bulgaria has an area of 110 911 km2 and population of 8 000 000 residents. Bulgarian has common boundaries with Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece, Former Yogosl.Rep.,Macedonia, and Turkey as it shown on Fig. 1. The Bulgarian territory is about three-fourth mountainous and one-fourth plains. Slovakia Ukraine Austria Hungary Switzerland Slovenia Romania Croatia Bosnia and Herzegovina Yugoslavia Sofia Italy Bulgaria Albania Fmr Yug Rep Macedonia Greece Turkey Fig. 1 Average population density is 81 persons per km2. About 65 percent of the population live in towns1). Urban population expanded rapidly through the 1970s. Sofia, the capital city, had a population of 1 250 000 in 1992. |Other large cities are Plovdiv 350,000, Varna 250 000, Ruse 193 000, Pleven 138 000, Dobrich 114 000, Vratsa 84 000,Gabrovo 80 000, Vidin 67 000, Razgrad 58 000, Silistra 57 000, Montana 566 000, Lovech 51 000. Average annual precipitation fluctuates within the range of 2000 mm in high mountains (Central Rila Mountains) to 500 mm in the North-East Bulgaria (Silistra region). In the plains of the Danubian plain the precipitation is only 500 - 600 mm. In some years there is no precipitation over the summer period (from June to the end of August). 1 In humid years the long-term average values are exceeded by 120 - 150%. In dry years the precipitation total decreases down the minimum of 300 mm in North-East. The annual distribution of precipitation shows the maximum in spring (April - May), when convective precipitation constitutes a considerable contribution to the total precipitation.

  • Npp Geological Environment As a Barrier Against Radionuclide Migration
    “KOZLODUY” NPP GEOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT AS A BARRIER AGAINST RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION Dimitar Antonov Geological Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, “Acad. G. Bonchev” St., Bl. 24, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria, [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of this report is to present an analysis of the geological settings along “Kozlodyu” NPP area from the viewpoint of a natural, protecting barrier against unacceptable radionuclides migration in the environment. Possible sources of such migration could be an eventual accident in active nuclear plant; radioactive releases either from decommissioned Power Units or from temporary or permanent radwaste repositories. The report is directed mainly to the last case and especially to the site selection for near surface short lived low (LLW) and intermediate level (ILW) radwaste repository. In Bulgaria a preliminary choice of prospective sites in different geological formations has been made. The terrains in the region of Kozloduy are among these sites since they offer advantages from the viewpoint of the local population reaction, the hazards related to RAW transport and the natural conditions. This region is calm in tectonic aspect. It is characterised by VII degree of seismic intensity according to the MSK scale and no active faults have been determined in it. Thick Neogene clays (more than 600 meters), some with sand layers, covered by Quaternary clays and loess have been deposited on the top of Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments. Beyond the range of the river Danube tributaries the relief has low segmentation. The low Danube terraces are covered by loess and the relief lowerings in the loess cover represent an interest in searching prospective sites.
