More than 40,000 people in Ungheni drink water from the Prut. A Romania–Moldova project has started looking for microplastics in the river, and the workshop was held in Ungheni itself

PLASTICWISE, a cross-border project funded by the European Union, is monitoring plastic pollution in the Prut — the river from which the town of Ungheni draws its drinking water. On 25 June, partners from Romania and Moldova met at the Ungheni District Council and went down to the bank of the Prut, by «Micul Cluj» Park. The measurement results are not yet public — the study is still under way. And how dangerous microplastics in drinking water really are remains, according to the World Health Organization, a question without a final answer.

Ungheni opens its Prut and Delia beaches on Sunday — with lifeguards, a rarity in a country where 18 people have drowned in 2026

Mayor Vitalie Vrabie has signed the order opening the 2026 summer season at the municipal beaches on the Prut River and Lake Delia from 21 June, with lifeguards on duty all summer. In a country where almost all drownings happen at unsupervised spots — 18 people have died that way since the start of 2026 — a beach with a lifeguard post is not a formality but a safety measure.

Six European countries rehearsed flood rescue on the Prut, in Ungheni district

A major European civil-protection exercise hosted by Moldova, “MD–EU MODEX 2026”, ended on 18 June. More than 250 rescuers from six countries — Poland, Germany, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and the Netherlands — spent three days working through realistic flood scenarios, one of the sites being the Prut river, in Ungheni district. The drill comes just a month after the Prut and local streams really did flood Cornova, Pîrlița and Vulpești.
