Chisinau, 24 May /MOLDPRES/- The hydrological center of the State Hydrometeorological Service issued today a warning indicating the increase of the water level in the Dniester River between Dubasari, Bender and Talmaza.

According to hydrologists, in these regions the water will flow out into the meadow.
The increase of the water level in this sector is related to the decision of the administration of the Dubasari hydro power plant to increase the volume of water discharging from Dubasari reservoir to 1100 m3 / s.
The situation is also aggravated by heavy rains in Ştefan Vodă district, especially in the localities of the Dniestre river. Because of the rains of the last few days, there is the risk of failure of dams in the area.
