Bebresh Reservoir, reservoir in Bulgaria
Bebresh Reservoir lies on the Bebresh River in Botevgrad Municipality. Its dam is built of compacted clay, 48 metres high and 408 metres long, and impounds 15.1 million cubic metres of water. A 53-metre water tower at the dam carries water to Botevgrad and the Botevgrad plain.
The reservoir was constructed in 1987 to secure water supply and irrigation for the development of the Botevgrad region. Since its completion, it has remained a steady component of local infrastructure supporting the community's needs.
The reservoir's water is used for industry and, after treatment, for the drinking water supply of Botevgrad. A 53-metre water tower at the dam carries water to the town and the Botevgradsko Pole plain. The reservoir is also used for irrigating farmland.
