Canalul ucrainean Bâstroe, un vechi subiect tensionat între România și Ucraina, revine în atenția publică

The Bâstroe canal, a contentious issue between Romania and Ukraine, has resurfaced due to concerns over water flow and environmental impact. Recent discussions highlight the historical changes in water distribution among the Danube's branches, particularly the Chilia arm, which has seen a significant decrease in water flow due to various hydrotechnical interventions. Experts clarify that Ukraine's recent maintenance work on the Bâstroe canal is not as detrimental as feared, and speculations about water theft are unfounded. The ongoing low water levels in the Danube have intensified public anxiety, but scientific assessments suggest that the situation is more complex than simple accusations.
