Dams in Pazardzhik Province are reaching nearly 90% capacity following heavy rainfall in recent days, according to a current report from the Ministry of Environment and Water.

At present, water levels in the region's reservoirs continue to rise, with the largest dam – "Batak" – having a total volume of 310,298 million cubic meters, and its current water volume is 266,861 million cubic meters, which constitutes about 86% of its capacity.

The "Topolnitsa" dam is also among the most filled in the region. It contains 122.995 million cubic meters of water, compared to the maximum possible 137.108 million cubic meters, which means nearly 90% filling.

Additionally, significant amounts of water are present in the "Shiroka Poliana" and "Golyam Beglik" dams. "Shiroka Poliana" is filled to 87.03%, and "Golyam Beglik" to 89.44% of its capacity.

According to experts, the high levels are a result of the intensive rainfall in May, which improved the region's water reserves and created better conditions for water supply and irrigation during the summer season.
