Among all the problems of change climate in the Dniester basin are attributed to priority issues of change of regime, soil degradation and degradation of agricultural land, as well as the effects of impact of climate on human health and water supply. For the Dniester basin, a likely change in volume and seasonal distribution of runoff is one of the critical effects of climate change. Further climate change trend is likely to lead to increased intensity and unevenness of precipitation - especially heavy rains - and related rises in the Dniester River.
