- Several major European rivers, including the Danube, Rhine, Elbe and Loire, are experiencing very low water levels due to prolonged heatwaves and drought conditions.
- The Danube River, Europe’s second-longest river, has reached its lowest level in 30 years in Romania.
- The Danube’s flow at Baziaș, Romania, has declined to around 1,700 cubic metres per second (cu m/s), much below its July average.
- The Rhine River’s low water levels have affected cargo transport, forcing ships to carry reduced loads and increasing shipping costs.
- The Loire River in France has dried up in several stretches, leaving only isolated pools due to intense heat and drought.
