Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this report is to identify and track the trends in generated and disposed wastewater in Bulgaria for the period 2016-2021. The amount, type, degree of treatment and solutions for waste water disposal are directly dependent on both the availability of water resources in general and the sectors that use fresh water. Analyzing the available data from various official sources at national and regional level for used, accumulated, disposed, purified and other waters, we would make relevant conclusions about the state and trends in the sector. The reduced consumption of fresh water and the increased degree of purification and disposal of waste water would reveal a trend in building sustainable productions, eco-friendly products and ecological solutions to increase the total amount of water resources, reduce polluted waters and general improvement of the ecology in the country in line with the Circular Economy model.
