Description
A team of investigative journalists and hydrologists will investigate how a poorly regulated industry has been quietly reshaping Romania’s rivers, amplifying flood risks for years and leaving entire communities at risk. The project aims to find out why the authorities are failing to prevent and what the social and economic costs are.
“We want to understand why entire communities in Romania continue to be flooded and whether the state is doing enough to protect them. By bringing journalists and scientists together, a grant like this enables us to uncover new data and investigate systemic risks.” – Andrei Petre, Investigative journalist
