    The Iskar River is the longest river located entirely within Bulgaria, flowing over 260 km from its source in the Rila Mountains to its confluence with the Danube River. It flows through the Iskar Valley and forms several dam lakes along its course, including Beli Iskar and Iskar, which provide water for hydroelectric power and supply around 20% of the water for Sofia. The river and its dam lakes are important for local fishing, watersports, and drinking water supplies after treatment, but building the dams and treatment plants has impacted local villages and the environment.
