The Buzău-Ialomița Basin Administration has notified ESZ Prahova about the blockage of the bottom discharges of the Paltinu Dam, turbidity risks, and the application of special procedures.

In a document sent by the Buzău-Ialomița Basin Administration to ESZ Prahova on October 29, 2025, the issues related to the Paltinu Dam are highlighted, including the blockage of the two bottom outlets and the water supply exclusively through the Paltinu hydroelectric power plant. This situation raises significant risks, such as increased water turbidity, which can affect the quality of water resources.

In the context of these issues, ESZ Prahova has threatened legal action, highlighting the tensions between the two entities and the need for a quick resolution of the situation.
