The “Big Banen Lake” dam is filled to four-fifths of its capacity, the Blagoevgrad Regional Administration reported to BTA. From there they stated that this is the only dam whose water is used for drinking and household needs of residents in the district. It provides water supply to Yakoruda and municipal settlements.
The number of dams in the district used for irrigation is very small, but the district government stated that this is normal this season. This is a small dam that is expected to refill after winter and spring rains.
