Novo-Dnestrovsk complex has a significant impact on the Nistru River

The Nistru Hydropower Complex in Novo-Dnestrovsk, Ukraine, has had a negative impact on the hydrobiology of the Nistru River. The data were presented in a study conducted at the request of UNDP Moldova, and prepared by a group of independent experts, at the request of the Ministry of Environment, with the financial support of Sweden.

"The Novo-Dnestrovsk hydropower plant has a significant impact on the Nistru river systems and an impact on the economy and social life of our fellow citizens. Another significant impact is the waves caused by the operation of the turbines. The temperature has also changed significantly, during the summer the water is much colder, up to seven degrees. The beneficiary of the study is the Ministry of Environment, which uses the results of the study in the negotiation process with Ukraine. At the same time, the project developed proposals to improve the situation, namely restoring the Nistru waters to a good state ", said the coordinator of the Project" Study of social and environmental impact of the Nistru hydropower complex use in Novo-Dnestrovsc, Ukraine" ,  said Nadejda Chilaru.

The study is accompanied by photographs that reflect the current state of the Nistru in certain segments of its course.
