Bulgaria will be marking the World Water Day on March 22 with numerous events throughout the country. This year, the theme of the UN's World Water Day is "Water for Peace", emphasizing the unequal access to water worldwide and the need to protect and preserve water resources in the face of climate change. 

Water resources are decreasing due to poor water management and pollution.  The change in the circulation of the ocean and in particular the slowing down or stopping of the Gulf Stream will lead to a serious decrease in precipitation in Bulgaria, according to the latest data of the Bulgarian Water Association.
