MOLDOVA - Water Emergency

Moldova’s pro-European leaders said that they were asking parliament to declare a state of emergency for energy and water supply in connection with dangerously low levels on the Dniester River ‌it shares with Ukraine.

President Maia Sandu, who has spearheaded a drive for Moldova to ‌join the ⁠European Union by 2030, had earlier chaired the Security Council meeting and said its members had recommended introducing emergency regulations quickly.

“The share of renewable energy sources has increased, but we still don’t have the necessary capacity to cover consumption during peak hours,” she told a ⁠press conference.

Moldova’s government has been concerned with low levels on the ⁠Dniester for months.

Records are to be broken, but water coming from the heavens will continue to pour down upon planet earth. Sometimes it seems to be irregular, but in the end, nothing will change, because that is the guarantee of God.

The prophet Isaiah proclaims: “For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee” (Isaiah 54:9).
