Criza apei lovește Republica Moldova: Nistrul, la minim istoric; Chișinăul riscă să nu mai poată capta apă

The Republic of Moldova has declared a 30-day hydrological alert due to low water levels in the Nistru River and reservoirs. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan warns that if levels drop further, the capital, Chișinău, may not be able to extract water. The government is preparing alternative sources and may limit irrigation and non-essential water use if the situation worsens. Authorities emphasize the importance of maintaining potable water supply. The alert allows for rapid measures to protect water resources and coordinate local administrations. The government is also addressing energy sector issues amid regional fuel market disruptions.
