Bulgaria is situated in the semi-arid zone,
some regions are suffering of water resources
shortages. Hazardous floods
causing considerable damages occur in some river basins, due to the irregular
distribution of precipitation and mixed influence of other factors.
Hydrological forecasts, the operational hydrological data and products are important
instruments in water management and flood prevention
in Bulgaria. The real time hydrological data
processing, preparation of hydrological predictions and products as well as the development
and set-up of relevant methodologies and software are the major tasks of the
Division of Hydrological Forecasting at the Hydrology Department of NIMH.
