Summary:Aquapole is involved in environmental modeling for more than 20 years. Its integrated model PEGASE (Planification Et Gestion de l'ASsainissement des Eaux) is devoted to the simulation of the surface water quality. In 2011, the PEGASE Model has been implemented for the first time in Bulgaria, on the Iskar River basin. Thanks to a project funded by Wallonie-Bruxelles International, the first Iskar database has been constructed in association with the Danube Region Basin Directorate, and the first simulations have been carried out in 2012. The results of the first simulations are very promising. The perspective for future projects being the validation of the Iskar model, performing prospective simulations to assess the program of measures and extending the model to other Bulgarian basins.
