Dniester Water Emergency: Moldova’s water supply crisis is deepening as the Dniester and Prut hit dangerously low levels; Environment Minister Gheorghe Hajder says the minimum discharge can no longer be ensured, with the Novodnistrovsk reservoir falling below critical thresholds and Ukraine already shifting to scheduled deliveries, while the government and Chisinau are urged to act fast to protect drinking water. Water-Use Cuts on the Prut: Hajder also reports reduced releases from the Costești–Stânca reservoir to preserve reserves, leaving only about 72 cm before releases become impossible—raising pressure on districts relying on the Prut. Prime Minister’s Response: Prime Minister Vasile Tofan convened Environment and water utility officials to review scenarios and technical options, with intake levels and forecasts guiding next steps.
