For the last 5 years, the useful volume in the „Zhrebchevo” and „Koprinka” dams is the lowest. This is shown by data from the official bulletins of the Ministry of Environment and Water. Zhrebchevo dam is used mainly for irrigation, and the available useful volume in the „Koprinka” dam is 24.6%. The expectations are that the water facilities will be filled with the spring snowmelt and rains.
„For the „Koprinka” dam "We hope that May will be a rainy month so that a sufficient amount of water can enter," said Valentin Dimitrov from the Central Fish Conservation Organization. He pointed out that compared to last year, the volume is now much smaller.
The director of “Irrigation Systems”- Sliven Eng. Plamen Ivanov said that when water is used outside the months for irrigation, then there is a problem.
