Trombitsky: there is currently no threat to the drinking water supply

The threat to the drinking water supply (in Chișinău and other major settlements) in Moldova has, for the time being, passed. As a result of the rainfall in the upper reaches of the river, the water level in the Dniester Reservoir has risen to 111 metres above sea level.

Dniester

Hydroelectric Power Station No. 1 has resumed operations. The inflow into the reservoir stands at 48–56, whilst the outflow downstream is 55–60 cubic metres per second. There is still not enough water to restore the situation to normal levels. However, on the whole, developments are encouraging. This was reported on social media by Ilya Trombitsky, director of Eco-TIRAS.

And yet, only recently, a fall in the reservoir’s water level below the ‘critical’ 112 metres, and a flow rate into the Moldovan section of the Dniester below 100, 75 or 60 cubic metres per second, were seen as harbingers of disaster.

It takes so little for people to become frightened, to get used to it, to calm down and to reassure others. However, only very light rainfall – just 8 mm – is forecast for the upper reaches of the river over the next two weeks.
