In Moldova announced the shallowing of the Dniester due to the reduction of water discharge by Ukraine

Moldovan authorities said that Ukraine stopped supporting the water level in the Dniester. According to Moldovan Environment Minister Georgy Hajder, downstream discharge into Moldovan territory has decreased.

In a social network, the minister said that in the north of the country "water levels have fallen to historically low levels." At the same time, according to him, “a similar critical situation has developed in Ukraine itself, from where the Dniester flows to us.” Moldovan authorities are cooperating with their Ukrainian counterparts, the official stressed.

Mr. Hajder noted that in the middle of the month, Ukraine “requested a significant reduction in the discharge of water from the Dniester reservoir in connection with the drought in the Carpathians.” “Our position was not to accept this proposal and postpone the decision as long as possible, while ensuring the constant flow and protection of the water supply and ecosystem,” he said.

“The government will constantly monitor the situation and provide all necessary support to local authorities and network operators so that we can continue to ensure uninterrupted water supply to citizens,” he said.

Now in Moldova there is a state of emergency in the fields of energy and hydrology due to the threat of shortage of electricity, fuel, as well as critical shallowing of the Dniester, which feeds Chisinau and other cities of the country.
