Protest over the anti-river law

The law has already been adopted and arbitrarily allows hydropower plants to be built even in protected areas, while no one will be held accountable for the destruction of the ecosystem. Many rivers in Romania are fragmented by the dozens of small hydropower plants built along their courses. Not only free-flowing rivers, but also water captured in pipes, like household wastewater in sewers.

Especially in dry months, the concrete structures mercilessly control the flow of water, so that some rivers disappear and their beds dry up. And with them, the ecosystem is destroyed too.
