Aleksandar Stamboliyski Reservoir, reservoir in Bulgaria
Aleksandar Stamboliyski Reservoir is a water storage area in Bulgaria located in a hilly region between two settlements. The water body spans across a valley and is contained by engineered structures that manage its level throughout the year.
The reservoir was constructed in the 20th century to store water for agricultural and energy purposes. It was named after a Bulgarian prime minister who led major agricultural reforms during that era.
The area around the reservoir is accessible by road and offers viewpoints over the water and surrounding landscape. Walking along the shoreline or viewing from elevated positions gives the best sense of the scale of this water body.
The water feeds multiple channels that support farming in the region and shape the local landscape. These irrigation networks are integral to daily life in the surrounding villages and their economic activities.
