A country rich in water resources, Bulgaria has a large number of rivers that are divided into several regions depending on their mouth's location.
Rivers of northern Bulgaria, with the exception of the very east of the region, are typically tributaries of the
Danube . Notable rivers in the area are theIskar ,Vit ,Ogosta ,Osam and Yantra.The rivers in the eastern part of the country are typically short (except for
Kamchiya ) and flow into theBlack Sea . Notable rivers in the region include theKamchiya ,Batova , Provadiyska,Devnenska ,Ropotamo ,Veleka andRezovska .Most of the rivers that rise in southern Bulgaria have their mouths in the
Aegean Sea outside Bulgarian territory. A notable exception is the Iskar that takes its source fromRila and runs throughStara Planina forming a gorge to reach the Danube. Depending on their location, they are divided into two regions, a Western Aegean and Eastern Aegean one. The former embraces the Struma and Mesta, while rivers in the latter include the Arda,Maritsa andTundzha .List
