Moldova’s Ministry of Ecology recommends that water supply companies introduce scheduled water shut-offs at certain times.
Moldovan Agriculture Minister Vladimir Bolea said the country will introduce a state of environmental emergency due to the drought. This was reported by Newsmaker.
He noted that the drought is creating an emergency situation for agriculture and the introduction of such a regime will make it easier for farmers to get water from lakes.
According to the minister, today the water level in the Dniester is 30-40% of the average monthly long-term indicators (yellow code), in the Prut – 15-30% (orange code), in a number of small rivers – 10-20%, and in individual small rivers – up to 10% of the monthly multi-year average (red code)
The ground water level, on which water depends on artesian wells, has also dropped.
