The Chisinau streets get flooded whenever it rains as the rainwater drainage systems are malfunctioning, according to the municipal authorities. 

The only solution to save people from floods is to redesign the systems. Hânceşti road and Gheorghe Asachi street turn into real rivers in heavy rain at Telecentru.

"The water reaches to the ankle especially at the crossing", said a woman. 

"The problem has existed for a very long time", said Adrian Costin, head of the Rainwater Sewerage Department, Exdrupo.

The Capital authorities say that, for the time being, they do not have money for the redesign of the rainwater drainage systems.
