Drought Causes Critical Water Level Drop in Dniester River
The water level in the Dniester River, shared by Ukraine and Moldova, has reached critical levels due to severe drought and abnormal heat. The water level in the Dniester Reservoir in Ukraine has dropped from 121.5 meters to 111 meters, and the riverbed in northern Moldova has partially dried up, leading to fish deaths. Authorities warn of potential water supply issues and call for preparations of alternative sources. The drop in water level has also led to a reduction in water discharge coordination between Ukraine and Moldova.4 sourcesSee all sources
