THE BULGARIAN TICHA RESERVOIR FUNCTION IN 2017-2023 PERIOD
Abstract
The sustainable water management is a process based on a brief knowledge about the water resources availability. The water lack or excess in the form of droughts or flooding, and/or improper water use can cause serious disruptions in the water management process with negative effects on the water supply, economy, and the human and ecosystems well-being. To minimize the negative consequences a specialized research is needed. It requires a complex study that allows objectively detecting of critical aspects in the water management process. In help of water managers and professionals in the area this material is presenting the results of investigation about the Ticha reservoir. Ticha is one of the complex and significant dams in Bulgaria. Its water is used for multiple purposes: for water supply, irrigation, electricity production, for provision of water for ensuring the required minimum river flow for the healthy function of aquatic ecosystems. But several times recently signals alarmed for very low reservoir state with critical impact on the water use. This provoke this special study of the Ticha`s reservoir performance for the 2017-2023 period, observing in details the reservoir specificities, hydrograph, the established water intakes and water use in accordance to the hydrological situation. The obtained results serve to diagnose the critical events and leading to them reasons. This analysis and obtained results can support the sustainable management of the Ticha reservoir and the decision makers in the field.
