Flooding in Bulgaria occurs due to mountainous terrain and a dense river network, making it prone to flash flooding. Rivers such as the Danube, Maritsa, and Struma are responsible for the flooding patterns in the region. Heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and inadequate drainage infrastructure contribute to floods. Bulgaria's 600 to 800 millimeters of annual precipitation can lead to intense summer downpours and rapid runoff. According to available data, flood damages in Bulgaria exceeded €500 million between 2005 and 2014. Recent events, such as the 2022 floods, have also resulted in significant economic losses and evacuations.
