1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES Renewable water resources in Bulgaria total 19.4km3. The hydro-geographic network of the country is rather complex and in most of the regions quite dense, without very big rivers (with the exception of the River Danube, which forms the northern border). These peculiarities are due to the fact that the country has a small territory, is located near sea basins (the Black Sea to the east and the Aegean Sea to the south), and has a transitional continental climate and deeply indented relief. On average, the perennial flow is estimated at about 19-20 billion m3 and, in a secured year, at 75 per cent or about 14 billion m3. The following four River Basin Districts have been established by the National Water Act: -Danube River Basin District (Pleven); -Black Sea River Basin District (Varna); -South-West Aegean River Basin District (Blagoevgrad); -South-East Aegean River Basin District (Plovdiv); 1.1.2.WATER USE Water withdrawals in Bulgaria total around 10.5km3/year. Water use by sector is as follows: -agricultural use, 19 per cent; -domestic use, 3 per cent; -industrial Use, 78 per cent.
1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH Major environmental problems include: air pollution from industrial emissions; the pollution of rivers with raw sewage, heavy metals and detergents; deforestation; forest damage caused by air pollution and resulting acid rain; soil contamination with heavy metals from metallurgical plants and industrial wastes
