Abstract
The Drought in the period 1982-1994 had its natural influence on the amount of water resources in Bulgaria. The negative consequences of this process influenced all spheres of the social and economical life in the country, including those important for the Public Health, especially drinking water supply. Bulgaria is a country with limited water resources, which requires a clever management and balance of the available water reserve. The lack of professional management approach during the dry period, led to an abrupt and large-scaled collapse in the water supply system in the country.
