    At the end of the workweek, Environment Minister Gheorghe Hazder reported a record-low water inflow from the Carpathians into the Dniester Reservoir—14 cubic meters per second. This negative trend directly affects water flow in the lower Dniester. In light of this, the minister once again urged all consumers to use water responsibly.

And there appears to be no coordination of this process between the authorities on the right and left banks of Moldova.
