Drought Leaves Dniester River Bed Walkable in Soroca District
In Soroca district, the Dniester River has become so shallow that it can be crossed on foot due to a severe drought. Locals attribute this to lack of rain and reduced water release from the Dniester Reservoir in Ukraine. The situation has been ongoing for a few weeks and has led to a state of emergency being declared in Moldova's energy and hydrological sectors.3 sourcesSee all sources
