Drinking
water crisis is a present days problem especially
for Republic of Moldova, mostly for the rural
localities, which represents more than a half of countrys
population.
Only 17 of them have aqueducts,
67% of which are in a miserable situation and dont
fit the hygiene standard. The populations in the
rest of the rural localities make their water supply from
wells
and springs, the majority of which are polluted
with pathological bacteria. The Republic of Moldova
is a
member of the group of European counties
with the lowest degree of supplying with drinking
water.
Only the population of Chisinau city and other
towns receive continually the necessary amount of
relatively
qualitative water. The rural inhabitants
access to qualitative drinking water cant be presently
satisfied
because of the low income level (20-25
USD for person per month) and also because of lack
of money
in local and state budget. Important
financial sources are needed, and they can only be
offered by
international financial organizations and
by donor country governments. In rural localities,
in
such difficult situations water sources are not
protected, people dont know water quality and for
example Hepatita
A cases rise year by year. read more...
