Lacul Stînca-Costești, Water reservoir on Moldova-Romania border
The Stânca-Costești reservoir extends across 59 square kilometers on the Prut River between Moldova and Romania at coordinates 47°51'N 27°14'E.
Construction of the reservoir began in 1974 as a joint Soviet-Romanian project, completing in 1978 to address severe flooding issues along the Prut River.
The reservoir functions as a connecting point between Romanian and Moldovan communities, supporting local fishing traditions and cross-border activities.
The hydroelectric power station at the dam generates 32 megawatts of electricity, equally distributed between Moldova and Romania through separate turbine systems.
The reservoir contains three distinct habitat types supporting continental freshwater ecosystems and serves as a protected area for European migratory birds.
