Abstract:
The danger of floods is very up to date for the Republic of Moldova, so, two types of flood are characteristic: transboundary, caused by Dniester and Prut rivers, and local, caused by discharges of small streams, lakes, ponds. A group of experts from the Academy of Sciences of Moldova developed solutions to prevent damages caused by triggering floods. Among these are: the creation of National center of flood monitoring; the assessment of flood areas and the liable to inundation potential of Dniester and Prut rivers and small streams; the elaboration of “Scheme of protection of populated localities against flood”; the regular water sampling in flood areas to monitor the state of pollution; the implementation of flash flood model; the agreement between Ukraine-Republic of Moldova-Romania on monitoring, forecasting and sustainable exploitation of aquatic ecosystems etc.
