Recall that in Moldova, because of the intense heat, farms suffer, in which crops die without irrigation. According to preliminary data, the harvest of corn and sunflower was under threat.
The authorities of the republic are asking citizens to save water. Note that the capital of Moldova, Chisinau, takes water from the Dniester River.
