According to Genov, 52 river sections along the Black Sea coast were inspected - 36 in the south and 16 in the north. Fourteen had impaired flow capacity, seven were covered, and nine were built over, reporter Mira Stefanova reported.
“About 27% of the inspected sections show actual violations. The biggest problems are in the urbanized areas of Sveti Vlas, Elenite, Lozenets, Tsarevo, Sunny Beach, and Varna. Protected areas such as Ropotamo, Vaya, Aheloy, the Veleka River, and Karaagach are in exceptionally good condition.”
The inspections revealed reduced watercourse capacity in Sveti Vlas, Elenite, Lozenets, and Tsarevo.
Genov pointed out the causes of the floods along the Southern Black Sea coast: “First of all, we can identify meteorological and geographical factors. In addition, construction. One of the factors is the covering of riverbeds.”
