Initiative overview
The National Real-Time Water Management System is being developed as part of Bulgaria’s flood risk management measures. It is designed to provide continuous monitoring and analysis of the country’s water resources using advanced digital and AI tools.
Key goals include:
- Monitoring critical factors such as precipitation, snowmelt, and river flows in real time
- Assessing flood risks more accurately and earlier
- Improving disaster preparedness and response capacity at national and regional levels
By integrating AI and real-time data into water resource management, the system will enable faster decision-making and better coordination between authorities responsible for flood prevention and emergency response. It represents a shift from reactive to proactive water management.
