Abstract

Struma is one of the main rivers in the Republic of Bulgaria with certain hydrologic characteristics. The size of its catchment area is 10,797 km. It flows through southwestern Bulgaria and northern Greece and flows into the Aegean Strymonian Gulf of the Aegean Sea. Its length is 415 km, of which 290 kilometers are within the Republic of Bulgaria.
For the survey, the section between the points of Razhdavitsa village and the village of Krupnik has been selected. The selected area has the best informative value, which makes the survey representative. There are active hydrometric stations supporting hydrometric network of the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and points for surface water monitoring by the National System for Environmental Monitoring of the Ministry of Environment and Water. The area is representative for conducting research on the quality and quantity of water.An analysis and evaluation of water quality of the Struma River in the selected area between Razhdavitsa and Krupnik for the period 1981 -2005 have been made.The research presented is part of my PhD dissertation: "Use of information on water quality in making management decisions".
