Burgas Municipality is implementing large-scale preventive measures to mitigate the risk of flooding and dangerous incidents that could arise during heavy rainfall. As part of this campaign, 39,250 meters of riverbeds, ravines, and drainage channels located in critical areas throughout the municipality have been treated. Specialized machinery is being used to carry out these tasks, while in areas with difficult access, manual labor performed by inmates is utilized. The top priority of these efforts is to ensure optimal hydraulic conductivity for all watercourses.
To date, technical cleaning activities have been successfully completed in the following sections:
- Lozovo district – "Northern Ravine" – the section up to the ISUV monitoring station.
- Marinka River, "Chernitsite" villa zone – the section before the Lukoil dike up to the monitoring station.
- Otmanliyska River – the section from the Strandzha hut to the monitoring station in the Fishermen's Settlement.
- Izgrevsko Ravine – the ravine passing through the "Fifth Kilometer" area.
- Drainage channel after the "SOMAT" hydraulic facility – the section from the sluice gates to Vaya Lake has been cleaned.
- Dolno Ezerovo district – cleaning has been carried out on the drainage channel from Georgi Dalboshki St., as well as on the "Eastern Ravine" and "Western Ravine".
- Cherno More district – the riverbed of "Dermen Ravine" has been cleaned from the "English Settlement" to the last point of the district's regulation, as well as the drainage channel at the "Roman Bridge".
- Rudnik district – the riverbed of the Dermen Ravine has been cleaned from the "Yurtluka" villa settlement towards the cemetery park.
Manual cleaning methods have been applied for the maintenance of ravines and riverbeds in numerous settlements and districts of the municipality. This list includes the villages of Bryastovets, Draganovo, Izvorishte, Mirolyubovo, Ravnets, Bratovo, and Marinka, as well as the town of Balgarovo.
