Prut
The Prut (also spelled in English Pruth or on maps as Prout; (:prut), (ウクライナ語:Прут)) is a long river in Eastern Europe. In part of its course it forms Romania's border with Moldova and Ukraine.
==Overview==
It was known in antiquity as the ''Pyretus'' (Ancient Greek Πυρετός), ''Porata'' (possibly),〔Herodotus, translated by Thomas Gaisford and edited by Peter Edmund Laurent, ''The Nine Books of the History of Herodotus'', Henry Slatter 1846, p. 299〕 ''Hierasus'' (Ιερασός) or ''Gerasius''.〔Peter Heather, ''The Goths'', Blackwell Publishing, 1998, p. 100〕 It originates on the eastern slope of Mount Hoverla, in the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. The Prut flows southeast eventually joining the Danube river near Reni, east of Galați.
Between 1918 and 1939 it was partly in Poland and partly in Greater Romania (Romanian: ''România Mare''). After the German invasion of Poland in 1939 it became almost entirely Romanian. Prior to the World War I it served as a border between Romania and the Russian Empire. After World War II the river once again demarcated a border, this time between Romania and the Soviet Union. Nowadays, for a length of 695 km it forms the border between Romania and Moldova. It has a hydrographic basin of 27,500 km2, of which 10,990 km2 are in Romania and 7,790 km2 in Moldova. The biggest city along its banks is Chernivtsi, Ukraine.
The Costești-Stînca/Stânca-Costești dam, operated jointly by Moldova and Romania, is built on the Pruth. There is also a Hydro-Electric Station in Snyatyn (Ukraine). Ships travel from the river's mouth to the city of Leova (southern Moldova). Near the city of Yaremche the river creates a waterfall ''Probiy'' which is eight meters high and has a slope of almost 45 degrees.
