Ialpug

The Ialpug (Romanian: Râul Ialpug) or Yalpuh is a river that crosses Moldova and the Odesa Oblast of Ukraine. The river is a left tributary of the Danube, the Black Sea basin. It flows into Lake Yalpuh. The largest settlements in the Yalpug valley are Comrat (Moldova) and Bolgrad (Ukraine). In order to reduce the negative impact of floods and efficient water use, reservoirs were built on the river in the 20th century. The main anthropogenic impact on the state of the river is exerted by industrial and economic facilities located in its valley. The water of the Yalpug river is polluted with sulfates and chlorides.
