Abstract
The Dniester River is the most important source of quality water in the Republic of Moldova. In the current difficult social-economic conditions, as well as the accelerated climate changes, the provision of quality water represents a primary imperative of public policies and a important direction of interdisciplinary studies. In this study were applied statistical, analytical, cartographic and comparative methods. In the analyzed period (2003-2020), the total volume of water used in the Dniester Hydrographical District was, on average, 759 million m3, including 670 million m3 (88%) in the Transdnestrian Region. For technological purposes was used, on average, 580 million m3 or over ¾ (76%) of the total volume of water used, for household purposes − 111 million m3 (15%) and for agricultural purposes − only 66.1 million m3 (8.7%), including for irrigation – 41.1 million m3 (5.4%). In the 2003-2020 years, the total volume of water used registers an oscillating dynamic. The maximum of water consumption in the 2007 and 2020 years are due to the manifestation of stronger droughts in these years. In the 2008-2016 years, there is a negative trend, which is due to the bankruptcy and reorganization of large agricultural companies and of Zonal Stations for Irrigation. |
