Dniester Water Crisis: Environment Minister Gheorghe Hajder warns Moldova will face reduced Dniester flow for at least three more weeks, with inflows to the Novodnistrovsk reservoir averaging ~30 m³/s versus ~85 m³/s released downstream; he says reserves are being used and that dropping flow to ~30 m³/s would risk a natural and ecological disaster. Cross-border Monitoring: Moldova and Ukraine assessed critical points along the river and coordinated measures to protect drinking-water supply, while Chisinau urged Tiraspol not to cut discharge from the Dubassari reservoir, calling it a drought-driven, non-political step. Heatwave Pressure: A wider European heatwave is driving record temperatures and drought impacts; Moldova’s energy system is under strain, with officials urging people to save electricity during peak hours as consumption stays high and water levels limit power generation. Energy Shortage Measures: Moldova announced evening electricity deficit forecasts (18:00–21:00) and voluntary consumption cuts, alongside broader restrictions on electricity and non-essential water use approved by the National Crisis Management Commission. Waste Infrastructure Debate: Hajder says the planned Anenii Noi waste management center will meet EU standards, with sorting and composting to reduce environmental risk, after local authorities asked for a review. Transnistria Entrepreneurship Funding: Transnistrian “authorities” reportedly cancel a small-business support program due to lack of funds, leaving hundreds of entrepreneurs without assistance. EU-leaning Resilience: Moldova also continues hydrological and energy coordination, while information resilience work ramps up under the Center for Strategic Communication and Countering Disinformation.
