Rila Water Pipeline

The Rila Water Pipeline extends from the Beli Iskar Reservoir through mountainous terrain to deliver water resources to the capital city of Sofia.

The pipeline infrastructure was established in the early twentieth century to meet increasing water demands as Sofia experienced substantial urban growth.

The pipeline represents a significant engineering achievement in Bulgarian infrastructure, marking the transition toward modern water distribution systems.

Regular maintenance operations ensure the continuous functionality of the pipeline system, which supplies fresh water to residents and businesses in Sofia.

The pipeline includes engineering features such as syphon crossings over rivers, demonstrating technical solutions for water transportation across varied terrain.
